Furniture Mart buys Becker Furniture and its 7 Minnesota stores
South Dakota-based retailer Furniture Mart USA has completed the acquisition of Twin Cities chain Becker Furniture and its seven Minnesota locations.
The acquisition was announced on Tuesday, ending more than 45 years of Huseby family ownership of Becker Furniture, with current owner Joel Huseby joining the Furniture Mart USA leadership team.
As part of the deal, Furniture Mart will take control of Becker Furniture stores in Becker, Blaine, Burnsville, Maple Grove, Minnetonka and Woodbury – which employ 100 people between them – as well as the company's main distribution center in Becker.
It will increase Furniture Mart's presence in Minnesota to 31 stores, with the Sioux Falls-based company already operating Furniture Marts in 24 Minnesota cities, and a further 36 stores in Iowa, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
"Furniture Mart USA brings a wealth of resources and buying power to our customers,' said Joel Huseby. "We have known Bill Hinks and his team for decades and have always admired the way they built a first-class organization with strong teams and a great culture. We couldn't be more thrilled for what's ahead."
The announcement said that Becker customers "will continue to see the same familiar faces and great service."
'We are delighted to welcome aboard the Becker team, including their many loyal customers," said Cory Price, CEO of Furniture Mart USA. 'With more stores comes an even better customer experience – increased selection, better prices, in-stock merchandise, and faster delivery. We look forward to earning their continued support."
