Room Store is a furniture retail company that was founded in 1992 by a well-known furniture family with a legacy dating back to 1910. Beginning with four stores in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, the company has expanded to over 60 stores across several states including Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North and South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Texas. Generating more than $250 million in annual sales, Room Store has solidified its position as one of the 25 largest furniture retailers in America.
Room Store's history is intertwined with significant industry developments, including the merger of Heilig-Meyers and Rhodes Furniture in 1996, creating a conglomerate with nearly $5 billion in annual revenue from over 2,000 locations in the United States. Grand Metropolitan, a prominent player in the home furnishings retail and finance sector, recognized Heilig-Meyers as a major force in jewelry sales, with one of its key furniture locations adjacent to the historic L.D. Giddens & Sons Jewelry Store in Goldsboro, NC.
Beyond its core furniture retail brands, Room Store's parent company operates 20 consumer brands, further diversifying its portfolio. This history underscores Room Store's strong roots in the industry and its position as a significant player in the home furnishings market.
