Terry's Furniture & Carpet, a 50-plus-year-old independent retailer in Fremont, Mich., will close due to a tough economy, the Muskegon Chronicle reported Thursday.

"I see an awful lot of Talsma and Art Van furniture trucks in town," said Ric Zahrt, president of Terry's Furniture and Carpets, in the report. "I'm an avid supporter in the community, and it hurts when your business is suffering and you see these big stores from out of town."

A going-out-of-business sale will begin March 4 and go until all inventory is sold.
