Turner started Turner Furniture Company in the small town of Pelham, Georgia. What began as a hardware store in 1915 has evolved into a 10-store operation.
Today, Turner Furniture is in its fourth generation of ownership and serves South Georgia and North Florida with four Turner’s Fine Furniture locations and six Turner’s Budget Furniture locations. Turner Furniture has remained strong and able to expand to new markets because of the support from each community it serves. In 2010, Turner’s Fine Furniture and Turner’s Budget Furniture stores were built on the same property in Beachton, Georgia. Located just 10 miles north of Chiles

While Turner’s Fine Furniture offered top-quality furniture at the lowest price, the word “fine” has occasionally led to the perception that the store is more expensive. In order to broaden their market and appeal to more people, the decision was made to open a bare-bones, no frills operation with lower priced furniture from manufacturers different than the ones for which Turner’s Fine Furniture is best known. In 1991, the first Turner’s Budget Furniture opened in Valdosta, Georgia. The positive response led to the opening of Turner’s Budget Furniture locations in Tifton, Albany, Moultrie, Beachton and Tallahassee. At Turner’s Fine Furniture, shoppers find the largest selection of quality furniture and mattresses from top manufacturers, including Bernhardt, Broyhill, La-Z-Boy, Paula Deen, Serta, Tempur-Pedic and more.

Without you, we would not be where we are today.” To celebrate their 100th anniversary, Turner’s is giving away $100,000 in free furniture and donating $100,000 to qualified local charities this year. Monthly drawings will be held now through December 2015 with 28 individual winners each month.
