Furnitureland South celebrates its 40th year in the home furnishings industry.
Jamestown, North Carolina, November 12, 2009 -- Furnitureland South, the World's Largest Home Furnishings Showplace, is celebrating its 40th Anniversary during the month of November. Founded in 1969, Furnitureland South has grown from a small, one-man operation to today's multi-faceted campus featuring 1.3 million square feet of showroom space, a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled Distribution Center, a sales force consisting of more than 150 expert Sales & Design Consultants and a nationwide delivery team.
In 1969, Darrell Harris recognized that people equated furniture manufactured in North Carolina with quality. As a result, people frequently traveled to High Point searching for furniture values. During his first year of operation, Mr. Harris sold, delivered, and serviced the furniture himself. Now the World's Largest Home Furnishings Showplace, Furnitureland South continues to offer customers quality home furnishings at an exceptional value.
CEO, Darrell Harris reflects on how Furnitureland South has come to be the world's single largest furniture store, "I prefer to think that Furnitureland South became the largest as a result of my genuine desire to offer our customers the winning combination of the best service, the most choices and the greatest values." He continues, "Our family is thankful that God blessed us with good health, thankful for our many dedicated and honorable employees, thankful to our manufacturing partners, and especially thankful to our many clients for being so loyal and supportive."
In honor of its 40th Anniversary, hundreds of Furnitureland South's manufacturing partners are offering special discounts during the months of November and December. In addition, Furnitureland South is holding a 40th Anniversary Dining Table Giveaway. Customers can register in the store or on-line at www.furniturelandsouth.com.
