Business Spotlight: Daron Skero and Skero’s Furniture
At Community Resource Credit Union (CRCU), we believe in supporting local businesses that embody community values, and this month, we’re proud to highlight Skero’s Furniture and its founder, Daron Skero.
A Passion for Service
Daron Skero has been serving the Baytown community through Skero’s Furniture for over two decades, and his business is built on a foundation of service, not just sales. Unlike most furniture retailers, Skero’s doesn’t pressure customers into making a purchase. Instead, Daron and his team are dedicated to ensuring that every person who walks through their doors feels valued and respected.
“When you come in, our first mission is to serve you,” says Daron. “We’re not just about selling; we’re about building relationships.”
A Family-Oriented Business
Skero’s Furniture is more than just a store; it’s a family. Daron’s own family has been deeply involved in the business since its inception, with his younger brother, David, starting with him as a teenager. David recently relocated to Michigan with his wife and children, but Daron’s son, Daron Jr., has since joined the team, continuing the family legacy.
However, it’s not just blood relatives who make Skero’s feel like a family. Daron has created an environment where his employees, many of whom have worked with him for nearly a decade, feel like family members. "When customers come in, they often ask which employees are related to me," Daron shares. "And I tell them that, while most aren’t related by blood, we all work like we’re family."
A Joyful and Honest Work Culture
One of the things that sets Skero’s apart is its unique work environment. Daron has cultivated a culture of hard work, honesty, and mutual respect. His team enjoys coming to work each day, and they take pride in creating an uplifting atmosphere for both themselves and their customers.
"It’s amazing how much fun it is to work hard when you’re surrounded by people who share your values," Daron says.
The store has simple but important rules—no cursing, respect for one another, and a strong work ethic—that foster an environment of positivity and growth. Daron shares that many of his employees have noted how working at Skero’s has even improved their personal lives by instilling good habits and uplifting values.
Helping the Community
For Daron, Skero’s Furniture is not just about running a successful business; it’s about giving back. Whether it’s hiring local college students, supporting employees as they pursue their education, or providing great service to the community, Skero’s is committed to making a positive impact.
During Hurricane Harvey, Daron and his team stepped up to help those in need. In the aftermath of the disaster, one of his employees, a former teacher, chose to leave teaching to become part of the team full-time, recognizing the greater impact he could make through Skero’s.
A Shared Mission with CRCU
Daron sees a strong connection between Skero’s Furniture and CRCU, as both are community-centered and focused on relationships over transactions. “CRCU and Skero’s share the same heart,” Daron explains. “We don’t just do business—we serve people. That’s what brings us together.”
Both CRCU and Skero’s Furniture have built their success on word of mouth, with loyal customers spreading the word about their positive experiences. Daron’s dedication to exceptional customer service ensures that when customers walk through his doors, they’re treated like family—and they leave feeling satisfied, knowing they’ve been genuinely cared for.
