The family opened the first Furniture Mall in Topeka, Kansas in 2013.
The Winter family makes the home furniture shopping experience fun. From trikes that let guests cruise around the showroom to fresh cookies, frozen custard, and drinks**,** shopping at The Furniture Mall is an experience unlike any other. Guests can explore, test furniture, and play while they shop—turning what could be an overwhelming process into an exciting and enjoyable one. Their “Good, Better, Best” selection ensures that every guest—regardless of budget—can find high-quality furniture that fits their style, comfort, and price needs**.**
The opening continues The Furniture Mall’s growth across the region, expanding its mission to help families create more beautiful and comfortable homes through better selection, expert help, and experiences that make guests say, “OHH Yeah!” Furniture Mall has existing locations in Topeka, Olathe and Lee’s Summit.
About Furniture Mall of Missouri
In 2012, the Winter Family had a vision: make shopping for furniture fun again. Tired of the frustrations most customers face — high-pressure salespeople, bait-and-switch promotions, and a lack of real design help — the family opened the first Furniture Mall in Topeka, Kansas in 2013. The goal was simple: to offer a fantastic selection of brands, styles, and looks for every budget while making the experience fun and fulfilling, giving guests the best of both worlds — a large selection with home-town service and a small-store feel. At the core of every Furniture Mall is the company motto: "Happy Family, Happy Guest, Happy Business." Furniture Mall invests in its team — a work family focused on helping rather than just punching the clock — so guests can enjoy shopping again and build a home they're proud of.
