Bruno's Furniture will close its Oklahoma City furniture store this week, The Oklahoman reported Friday.

The store, which opened in 1958, grew to encompass 35,000 square feet.

"It's a sad feeling," Co-Founder Frank Bruno said in the report. "It's been really tough for us," adding that the store was profitable until around two years ago.

"Toward the end, we thought if we could just get a little boost of cash," President and Buyer Gina Bruno-Dunn said in the report. "But no banks would touch us because we had two years of a loss."
