It operates at least four franchises: '''Sofa Mart''', '''Oak Express''', '''Denver Mattress''', and '''Bedroom Expressions''', the last of which still sells products from an earlier store, '''Big Sur Waterbeds'''. Often, multiple stores will be co-located in the same building, where one store is open to the next.

HISTORY

Furniture Row started as Pillow Kingdom in 1974. In 1977 '''Big Sur Waterbeds''' opened in Denver. By 1982 they were America's largest Waterbed retailer. From 1993 to 1997, additional stores were added. In 1997 the first Furniture Row Shopping Center was opened. Development of this multi-store concept continues with new shopping centers around the nation.
