Wright's furniture was founded by Lloyd Wright on April 1st, 1953. Lloyd graduated from North Central College in 1934 and spent 19 years working for the Gambles chain of stores in six different Illinois cities, selling a variety of products including hardware, toys, appliances, tires, farm equipment, furniture, floor coverings, motor scooters and much more. His great American dream began in a 4000 sq ft store that had been Wood's Furniture in downtown Pontiac. After 4 years, Lloyd moved the business to a larger, former Montgomery Wards location, a few blocks away. Over the years, Wrights grew in size by purchasing adjoining buildings and knocking holes thru the walls. Today, our showrooms and warehouses total approximately 60,000 sq ft of floor space. Lloyd retired in 1985, but Wright's is still family owned and operated by Lloyd's son, Gary, and Gary's sons, Shawn, Eric and David. We are proud of our excellent staff of 25 dedicated sales, service, installation, delivery, clerical, advertising, and management personnel.
We display home furnishings from an unusually large number of manufacturers including most of the "famous brands" and offer great furniture from around the world plus many great "Made in America" resources. In addition to our huge selection of in-stock, ready-to-deliver merchandise, we also provide free, expert assistance in room planning and custom ordering of furniture.
Along with our extensive selection of furniture, mattresses, lamps, and decorative accessories, we have a complete floor covering department, featuring our Mohawk Color Center Elite gallery, plus flat screen high definition televisions and major appliances by General Electric, Hotpoint and Crosley. We feature expert installation of floor covering by our own employee installers and provide free measuring and estimates for your flooring projects. We strive to create lifelong repeat customers and realize that the best form of advertising is positive "Word of Mouth" referrals from satisfied customers. Come on in, and let us demonstrate why we are… THE "WRIGHT STORE" FOR YOU… in Beautiful Downtown Pontiac.
