Liquidation Sale: Storehouse Furniture's parent company has filed for bankruptcy (boo-hoo) and therefore has to close its doors. If you've ever eyed anything in their store, now, I repeat, now is the time to get it before it is gone forever. Discounts increase with each passing day, but the furniture (and fur) was flying fast in the Bethesda store at even 10-30% off. All local stores are participating, but good luck getting assistance from the staff. For locations click here. |
