Your Industrial Park Neighbors: Home Focus

Spruce up your summer lawn and garden with a bounty of selections.

How long has Home Focus been in business in the Industrial Park?
, our retail store, opened in 2002. Our wholesale business, The Lucky Clover Trading Company, has been here in Benicia since the '80’s.

I see a variety of products in the store: lawn and garden furniture, pottery, baskets and accessories.
Three separate divisions operate from this location. Like an outlet, overstock is available at the retail store. Our divisions are our wholesale basket website, ; our outdoor garden products website, Garden Winds; and our retail shop, Home Focus. We sell to the public from all three.

What is your most popular product at the retail store?
Pottery is our most popular product because of our price. We are a direct importer, selling our pottery at wholesale.

What is your most popular product online? 
, which operates only online, carries an assortment of lawn and garden products and serves our niche market, which is replacement canopy tops for gazebos and swings. We will begin carrying cushions next year. We sell canopies both by size and by model number. For example, if a consumer buys a gazebo at Target and knows the model number, we can replace the canopy using that number.

What is the life of a retail canopy top?
A retail canopy usually lasts about a year. We make better ones. Their life is two or more years, depending upon the weather.

To sum up, I would find baskets at Lucky Clover Trading Company online, outdoor products at Garden Winds online or I could come into Home Focus for outlet shopping?
Yes.

How do you get the word out that you are in the Industrial Park?
We use our two websites to spread the word. Home Focus, our retail store, has no site.

What are your hours?
Since we are primarily a wholesaler, we are open only on weekdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
