Shop small. Arrive a stranger. Leave with a life-long connection.

MAK & CO. is an Andover, Massachusetts-based furniture store and design studio owned by husband and wife team Lynn and John Makiej. A member of the Rowe family of retailers since their opening in the fall of 2017, MAK & CO. is proud to feature a curated blend of new furnishings, lighting, home decor and gifts. The store occupies two locations in Andover, one of which is in one of the area’s restored river mills and hosts a "Warehouse Sale" the first Saturday of each month. The second location is on Main Street in downtown Andover, boasting two beautiful floors filled with furnishings, lighting, decor and gifts. They also offer interior design services as well for both residential and commercial projects.

"My husband John and I own MAK & CO. together. It became a reality because we both love business and with over 20 years of small business experience, we wanted to own something together. I had been working in the interior design world for about 8 years prior but always wanted a store. With both of our children in school full time, we thought this was the perfect time to start this adventure!"

What makes your shop unique?

The fact that we offer so many options — new home furnishings, lighting, rugs, accessories, candles and gifts...even some rare and vintage finds. Customer service is also very important to us which is very hard to find these days. Customers want that personal attention and love supporting their small family-owned business versus a big box store.

How does your shop make customers feel?

Our overall vibe is joy. We are in a very old mill along a river, and our aesthetic is casual and comfortable. We try and hit most of the senses, focusing on smell (we always have candles & diffusers going), touch (fabrics & furniture), sight (there is so much to look at, and it usually makes people very happy), and sound (we always have fun but neutral music playing). Most of our customers tell us that they just want to move in!
