Great Deals on Furniture
Great Deals On Furniture was started in November of 2005 by Eddie & Carol Kennedy. They have a combined 70+ years of experience in the local furniture industry. Eddie started working in his family’s business, General Freight Furniture, when he was a teenager. Eddie’s parents, Ralph & Martha Kennedy hired Carol to work in the business in 1989.
