Furniture World Magazine

Thomasville Furniture announced the opening of a new store in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Thomasville Home Furnishings of Winnipeg is located at 10016 St. James Street on Winnipeg’s Furniture Row. Based on the success of his Thomasville Store in Calgary, owner Daniel Adelson, of Nefco, a 75-year-old, family-owned company that operates furniture and textile stores all over western Canada, eagerly seized the opportunity to expand his relationship with the Thomasville family in vibrant downtown Winnipeg. "Enormous growth in new home building and sales over the last three years has given rise to a corresponding demand for new, high quality furniture," said Adelson. "Our location as a corner anchor at the highest intersection of Winnipeg’s ‘furniture row’ naturally draws customers to the store. In fact, even in our infancy, the store has been well-received and consumer response continues to be remarkable." Adelson noted that the Winnipeg store has raised the bar in the furniture retail industry in western Canada, citing the inviting lifestyle concept layout and this store’s intimate atmosphere as factors. "Winnipeg is a thriving metropolitan center and Mr. Adelson’s vast home furnishings experience and understanding of the marketplace ensure a successful Thomasville introduction there," said Jim Adams, Thomasville’s Senior VP and Chief Marketing Officer. "Thomasville is thrilled to be strengthening a presence in western Canada with such a central location as Winnipeg’s growing marketplace." Thomasville Furniture is a subsidiary of Furniture Brands International (NYSE:FBN), the nation’s leading residential furniture manufacturer.
