Furniture First adds newest member retailer - Furniture Today

MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — Furniture First, the cooperative national home furnishings and mattress buying group, announced that Tanger’s Furniture of Bellefontaine, Ohio, has joined the group.

Founded in 1946, Tanger’s Furniture was purchased in 2016 by Brian Osterfeld, who brought his experience growing up in a family furniture store, as well as his experience in middle management for La-Z-Boy’s retail division, to the venture. He and his wife, Mandy, have steadily grown the business every year and are planning a second location that will open later this year.

“Over the years, we have seen members join shortly after the next generation takes over the family business or goes out on their own,” said Andrew Kauffman, CEO of Furniture First. “There is a lot of attrition in the industry as the current population of owners retires, but more and more we are seeing younger generations moving into leadership and ownership.

“Many times the new generation sees the benefits membership in our group has to offer, not the least of which is networking,” Kauffman continued. “Our members have a fellowship of store owners that are experiencing the same challenges that they can turn to for insight and advice.”

Tanger’s Furniture will be among the new members attending an orientation session in conjunction with Furniture First’s symposium May 23-25 at Omni Orlando Resort at Championsgate in Orlando, Fla. The 2022 symposium will be its first since the pandemic, and the buying group expects attendance to exceed 300.
