The story behind our store
In the late 70's Arthur's brother started a small used furniture store in the Fairview community of Rossville. That store Fairview Furniture was the seeds of what would one day become H&H Furniture. Seeing an opportunity for higher visibility Arthur's brother moved to the downtown district in Rossville in the early 80's, changed the name to Harris Furniture. Arthur Harris had been buying and selling for his brother over the years, purchased Harris Furniture in January of 1984. His new partner was Don Hale. The two partners changed the name to H&H Furniture. Don Hale soon sold his stake of the business to Arthur, but stayed on as Arthur grew the business. In November of 1985 Arthur brought his son Teddy into the business, who became the general manger of the store. Tragedy struck H&H Furniture on the morning of March the 19th 1987. A fire consumed the entire block in Rossville leaving H&H in a smoking heap. Not to be discouraged by this misfortune Arthur soon secured a new home for H&H Furniture. He moved H&H back to the place where Fairview Furniture was born, in essence taking the store back to its roots. On August the 7th 1987 the doors of H&H were opened at 2007 McFarland Avenue, and new and used furniture and appliances were once again being sold. Arthur has over 23 years experience buying and selling furniture, and Teddy has over 15 years experience in furniture retailing. Check with Arthur or Ted before you buy, why pay more when you can get more for less.
