Badcock Home Furniture & More officially closed its doors Friday evening, October 25. The store owners announced the closing date last Tuesday, October 22 on the store Facebook page. Writing in the post that they, “got the email late yesterday afternoon that the end date is moved up.”
The local furniture store had been in business locally for over 45 years. Local businessman Terry Allen came onboard at the store in 1977 as manager and less than a year later became the store dealer. When Terry Allen retired from the business in March 2023, new store dealer Alan Henderson took over right where Allen left off continuing the family-ran business. The Badcock Home Furniture & More company announced in July 2024 that it had filed bankruptcy and would be closing its more than 380 stores.
Announcing the closer on the business Facebook page, the Henderson family has kept Jesus in the forefront of this unknown journey. On Wednesday, October 23, the Henderson family announced on Facebook that while Badcock Home Furniture & More would be no longer there in name, the Henderson family will be rebranding the store to AP’s Home Furniture & More to continue to provide hometown service.
The Henderson family posted on the business Facebook page, “For 45 years Badcock Home Furniture & More has been a huge part of this community and not just this community but… from all over and we felt like this legacy must continue on. The Lord has been too good and too faithful to us to stop now. We will now be serving our community as : AP’s Furniture and More. In these upcoming weeks we will be painting, getting new signs, revamping and getting in new furniture.”
