Badcock Home Furniture & more is a chain of over 370 company and dealer owned furniture stores in eight states across the southeastern United States. Robert B. Burnette is president of Badcock Home Furniture and previously served as chief operating officer for the company.[1]
History[edit]
The first store was opened by Henry S. Badcock in Mulberry, Florida, in 1904.[2] A year before being listed by Furniture Today magazine in the top 25 furniture retailers by sales,[3] it was recognized as a centennial retailer by Florida governor Jeb Bush in 2004.
In December 2023, it was announced that Conn's had completed its purchase of the company.[4]
