Nebraska Furniture Mart


This place is amazing!! If you haven't been to this home, garden and more store, you must visit!


Nebraska Furniture Mart’s story began in 1922 when an immigrant’s dream became a reality when they arrived in America.


Isadore and Rose Blumkin raised four children and made a business for themselves. Rose Blumkin helped with her husband’s business ventures, including a second-hand clothing shop. Finding deals on men’s suits and accessories, she printed 10,000 circulars that offered to outfit a man from head to toe for five dollars - an amazingly fair deal for the times. It worked nicely, and she made a respectable profit.

In 1937, the Nebraska Furniture Mart was founded in the basement of her husband’s shop. Her belief in selling at tiny margins created rough going early on with the manufacturers boycotting Mrs. B at the urging of local competition, who generally operated on higher markups. Traveling by train to Kansas City, Chicago and New York, she became a proficient furniture bargain hunter by buying from large furniture stores at 5% over their cost, and still making a profit using her low markup sales strategy.



In 2012, Nebraska Furniture Mart broke ground for its new store in The Colony, TX. After years of planning and hard work came to fruition, Nebraska Furniture Mart of Texas opened in the spring of 2015. NFM of Texas is an incredible home furnishings experience unlike any other. It boasts over 560,000 square feet of retail showroom with a Distribution Center the size of 20 football fields!
