Raymour & Flanigan is an American furniture retail chain, based in the Northeastern United States.

Overview

Raymour’s Furniture Company, the predecessor of Raymour & Flanigan Furniture, was established by brothers Bernard Goldberg and Arnold Goldberg in 1946.[2] Raymour & Flanigan Furniture is the largest furniture retailer in the Northeast and the seventh largest in the U.S.[3]

History

Bernard Goldberg and his younger brother, Arnold Goldberg, co-founded the first Raymour Furniture store, the predecessor of Raymour & Flanigan, in late 1946 in downtown Syracuse, New York. They named the furniture store after an antiques shop on Long Island which was owned by a third brother.[2]

In 1972, Bernard and Arnold Goldberg opened a second Raymour Furniture store in Clay, New York, during which time Bernard Goldberg's son, Neil, joined the family-owned company.[2]

In 1990, Raymour’s Furniture Company acquired competitor, Flanigan's Furniture, which operated fourteen stores in the Buffalo and Rochester areas. The acquisition gave Raymour & Flanigan its present name.[4][2]

By 2005, the company had begun to focus on expanding its presence in the New York metropolitan area by acquiring Futurama, a furniture retailer with three large stores.[5] In 2007, Raymour & Flanigan purchased Alpert’s Furniture, located in the Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts area.[6] In December 2008, Raymour & Flanigan Furniture acquired 18 Levitz Furniture store locations in the New York metro area.[7]

Founder Bernard Goldberg remained the chairman of Raymour & Flanigan until his death in 2010. He was succeeded by two of his sons - President and CEO, Neil Goldberg and Steve Goldberg, Executive Vice President - as well as his nephew, Executive Vice President, Michael Goldberg.[2]

By 2011, the company had 100 stores across seven states in the Northeast.[8]

As of 2016, Raymour & Flanigan has over 110 stores in the Northeastern U.S.[9]

Products

Raymour & Flanigan sells home furniture including living room, dining room and bedroom furniture and mattresses.[10]

The company product offering ranges from traditional cherry wood pieces, to more modern styles such as denim sofas from the “Cindy Crawford Home” collection.[11] The company also has a line of upholstered furniture by designer Kathy Ireland.[12]

Awards

In April 2001, Raymour & Flanigan Furniture was named “Retailer of the Year” by the National Home Furnishings Association.[13] In 2004, Raymour & Flanigan Furniture received the “Retailer of the Year Award” from Furniture Today.[14] In 2007, Raymour & Flanigan Furniture was named "Newsmaker of the Year" by Home Furnishings Business.[15]

In 2009, the Greater New York Home Furnishings Association announced that the “Jerry Gans Memorial Award” would be awarded to the Goldberg family on behalf of the entire Raymour & Flanigan organization.[16]

In 2013, the Goldberg family received the Spirit of Life Award from the City of Hope in recognition of Raymour & Flanigan’s philanthropy and business leadership.[17]

Raymour & Flanigan was voted “Best Furniture Store on Long Island” in 2016 and 2017 through the “Best of Long Island” program.[18]
