A long tradition of service and quality
M
ore than a century of continued service and community business for any industry is a milestone. However, more than 100 years of dedicated quality and providing the Carolinas with the opportunity to furnish their homes beautifully is a feat to be commended many times over. Kimbrell’s Furniture has become a staple in the home furnishing process since opening its flagship store in 1915 in Columbia, South Carolina, and has been owned and operated by the Kimbrell family for three generations. During each trial and triumph, Kimbrell’s always managed to meet the buyers exactly where they were. Kimbrell’s continues to maintain its reputation by offering the Carolinas what is relevant and affordable in the home furnishing industry. After surviving the Great Depression and pausing expansion during World War II, Kimbrell’s Furniture has shown no sign of changing the business principles the store was first founded on—giving the customer the best product
available for a competitive price. Kimbrell’s is the natural choice for many homeowners during their search in finding the right furniture. It is clear from the beginning that Kimbrell’s will give its customer the best value for those making the investment with Kimbrell’s products. Creating a comfortable home is not only an investment with the material goods, but it’s also an investment in the longevity and comfort every home wants to have. As one of the oldest and most recognized furniture retailers in the Carolinas, popular brands like Ashley, Sealy and Southern Motion can easily be found at any Kimbrell’s location. Kimbrell’s has also grown into a competitive retailer for electronic goods and home appliances. Comparatively, it’s not only the affordable price of an item where Kimbrell’s meets their customer. “Our best assets are still our employees,” says a member of Kimbrell’s leadership team. It has been the original principles set in place by Kimbrell’s founder, W. Earle
Kimbrell, of giving the customer “red-carpet treatment” that has allowed customers and employees to feel satisfied with their experience in a Kimbrell’s store. More than a century’s worth of time has seen many changes in home décor trends, as well as the evolution of home electronics and appliances. It is Kimbrell’s adaptability to provide their customers with not only in-style furniture, but also choices within the current trends that keeps Kimbrell’s ahead of other markets. Above all else, Kimbrell’s has remained not only true to its roots, but also true to its region. Now with 50 stores in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, Kimbrell’s is committed to serving its customers for decades to come. The Kimbrell family’s original principles continue to uphold traditional ideals by placing value not only on the employee selling the product, but also providing the customer with the promise of Kimbrell quality.
The choices Kimbrell’s made in past century have allowed this mainstay in home furnishings to remain a staple within local community. It is the dedication to the local market that has allowed Kimbrell’s to create customers for life, even through the changes in technology and home furnishing needs. By remaining true to their roots, the Kimbrell family has been able to command a large presence as homeowners continue to find the perfect item or entire set that best suits what they’re looking for in home furnishings.
