Billy and Doris Brooks retired and sold the South Parkway store and in 1993, Kim and Greg bought the older location, which had moved to 813 Meridian Street. The store was barely a shadow of the store it is today. They expanded the nursery and completely renovated the building, enlarging it to provide a huge showroom. During this time, Brooks & Collier began importing furniture from manufacturers all around the world. Then, in 2005, Brooks & Collier leased the store to Summer Classics, when Summer Classics, one of Brooks & Collier's current furniture distributors, were expanding their company stores throughout the southeast.
