This family-owned furniture store has offered its uniquely large selection of pieces for all rooms of a home and more since 1982.
Timberlake Furniture started as most small-town retail spaces do — a store with a select offering of pieces for local customers. But as the years went on, that selection began to grow it was decided to expand the store floor, adding one building to the next. Over 40 years, growing the inventory allowed Timberlake to house one of the largest furniture displays not only in the Tri-State but in the country.
Most furniture rooms have specific areas or rooms dedicated to parts of the home — Timberlake has buildings with wall-to-wall options. All the top-name brands associated with home furnishings can be found in the store’s collections for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, office spaces, entertainment rooms, and even outdoors.
Growth is to be expected in a successful business. But how does a family-owned furniture shop near Mount Carmel turn into nearly eight-football fields, easy — low overhead and wholesale prices.
Adding home accessories wasn’t the only change the Meador’s brought with them. When the store exchanged hands and Tyson and Morgan officially took ownership, the couple put their own touch on the business while still providing the same customer service and low prices long-time visitors had been accustomed too.
We want to build a business and continue the business that was started that will last more than just our generation,” says Tyson. “We would like to have a business that one of our kids may want down the road; make it successful enough that it keeps getting passed down.”
