Art Van Furniture

Music Cars had tail fins and a tiny record label called Motown exploded onto the music scene. Something else happened in Detroit in 1959, something that hit Detroit residents right where they lived. A young entrepreneur named Art Panelslander opened a 4,000 square foot furniture store. What he didn't know then was that he was going to make history, becoming the Midwest's n It all started with a simple vision, make a commitment to your guests, exceed their expectations and become the most trusted name in the furniture business. It worked. With nearly 200 stores, more planned and 6 million square feet of retail space throughout the Midwest, Art Van ranks in the top 10 of all furniture companies in North America, earning furniture today's retailer of the year and named one of the four most influential companies in the furniture industry. Another strategy driving our growth is franchising. In 2012, Art Van opened two franchise locations, we're now in double digits with more on the way. Success also comes with responsibility. For six decades, Art Van has been supporting the communities in which it serves, with programs such as the Art Van charity challenge, donating $10 million to Midwest charities and helped to raise more than $25 million for women, children and h There's also the Art Van Sports Complex, the Art Van Grand Rapids Santa Parade and our long time commitment to America's Thanksgiving Parade, presented by Art Van nearly three decades after saving this great family tradition from financial failure. We also know how to have fun with our celebrated ladies night out, sofa selfie contest, holiday lightings and throwing big name grand store openings. All of it pays off with increased traffic and sales in our stores. And at the very heart of every Art Van store is its people, its culture. Art Van is proud of the many long term associates and family members who have worked their way from the stock room to the showroom. That wealth of experience in sourcing, selling, delivering and servicing, combined with our solid business practices and financial strength, is our winning recipe. Our n 5,700 associates, nearly 200 stores in nine states, one Omnichannel approach with a monetized e-commerce website, 6 million square feet of retail space, 1. 4 million square feet of warehouse turning 3,215,000 pieces of furniture annually and 263 trucks driving 6. 4 million miles a year. And new owners who are supercharging our growth. In late 2017, Art Van furniture acquired two more legacy furniture chains, Levin furniture and Wolf furniture with locations in Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland. After six decades, Art Van furniture has defined the way people furnish their homes in the Midwest with four key strengths, trust, value, style and community. Art Van, where heart meets home.
