Who produces the goods and services in a furniture store?

Most furniture stores buy their products from a wholesaler and sell them at retail prices. Some of them have a custom department where they will custom make your furniture to your specifications. Of course, custom furniture is more expensive.

The services of a company are usually internally produced such as that of a law firm, accounting firm, etc. Sometimes these firms can outsource their work to others but you normally do not deal with the outsourced company.
