Johnny Janosik appoints Jamelle Showell head of new Design Services Division

Johnny Janosik World of Furniture is expanding its services with the launch of its new Design Services Division. The department will provide design expertise to both residential and commercial properties, build on its relationships with professional area designers and provide design support to Janosik’s sales staff.

Local Worcester County resident, Jamelle Showell, has been named to lead the newly created division. A design professional with 25 years of experience in the industry, Showell began her career at Donaway Furniture in Ocean City, Md. in 1989. Her career also includes 10 years of freelance work specializing in coastal design with work in model homes and Ocean City hotels. Showell assumed her new role at Janosik’s Aug. 25.

“I am incredibly excited about working with Janosik’s,” said Showell. “This is a tremendous opportunity to provide Janosik customers with a new level of design expertise, as well as for me to grow and learn with the Eastern Shore’s largest furniture store.”

A family business started by Mary Louise and Johnny Janosik in 1953, Johnny Janosik has grown to include four locations with more than 225 employees. Recognized by Furniture Today Magazine as one of the top 100 furniture stores in the U.S., Janosik delivers to customers throughout Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“Jamelle is a great addition to our team,” said Dave Koehler, CEO/owner of Janosik. “We are always striving to improve our business operations and this new design component is yet another way to have not just satisfied customers, but delighted ones.”
