What We Do
Where We’ve Been The year was 1971 when recent college grad Kevin Koenig used $1,500 in savings to open a store called Waterbed City in Fort Lauderdale. Partnering with his brother, Keith, they quickly grew the business, selling waterbeds for the value price of $29.95. As the decades passed the industry changed, so the entrepreneurs reinvented the brand as CITY Furniture in 1994, adding furniture and décor into the mix. Where We Are Today CITY Furniture is South’s Florida’s number one furniture and mattress retailer. We’ve stayed true to that original vision of value, offering the widest range of styles at the best prices and quality. Our services have expanded to provide customers with a superior shopping experience, like free design and the industry’s fastest delivery. And as our business grows, we remain rooted in our history of family spirit and local community, working every day to give back and take care of our world. Where We’re Going The future has never looked brighter. Our showrooms and warehouses are expanding into Tampa and beyond, as we strive to become a best place to work. We’re growing our product categories to include more options than ever, establishing our place as trend leader in home design. We’re also building a frictionless, world-class customer experience, using a winning combination of technology and teamwork. All the while, we’re doing more for our community, taking our 2040 Green Promise and CITY’s 5% Giving Pledge to new levels. JOIN OUR TEAM – YOU’LL THANK YOURSELF LATER! http://jobs.cityfurniture.com
