American Heirloom Pool Tables is the largest and most experienced manufacturer of pool tables selling factory direct to consumers. Founded in 2000 by managers and employees of Gandy Pool Tables, American Heirloom builds on Gandys 50 years of experience in the billiard industry while adding a new tradition of excellence in furniture design and construction. With thousands of legendary Gandy Big G pool tables still in use in billiard rooms througout the world, experienced pool players will recognize the Gandy name and appreciate the reputation of Gandy pool tables for outstanding tournament play. Gandy finally succumbed to two different floods, first the flooding of the Ocmulgee River in 1994 that left its manufacturing plant under 5 feet of water, and afterwards the flood of cheap pool tables from China that devastated much of the billiard and furniture industries. While other American manufacturers responded to the Chinese threat by outsourcing components and complete tables for production overseas, the founders of American Heirloom devised a new business model that bypasses the inefficient retail distribution of pool tables by reaching out directly to consumers via the rapidly growing Internet. American Heirloom established a brand new production facility in the Southern suburbs of Atlanta, close enough to the former Gandy location in Macon to allow former Gandy employees to keep their jobs, and close enough to Atlanta to attract consumers from that large and rapidly growing market. Unlike Gandy which sold their pool tables through a national network of dealers, American Heirloom sells directly to consumers out of a factory showroom and via the Internet. Unlike the Gandy dealers that were forced to mark up the wholesale cost of pool tables by 250% to 300% in order to cover their expensive retail overhead -- retail rents, retail hours, sales commissions, large inventories of pool tables and accessories -- American Heirloom pays no salesmen, sells no accessories, has virtully no inventory of finished tables, is not open evenings and weekends except by appointment -- i.e. has near zero retail overhead.
