By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on August 2006 The owner of Internet furniture retailer iFurn.com is looking to purchase 10 acres of land in Bel Aire, Kan., for a future warehouse and headquarters, the Wichita Eagle reported.

Tracy Norris owns iFurn.com and painreliever.com, which sells medical equipment on the Web. Norris recently quit his chiropractic practice to devote himself to the Internet business, which has won local business awards for fast growth.

Plans call for a 30,000-square-foot office and warehouse, but the parcel will allow for future expansion. Norris looks to close on the land within six months, and open the new facility in around a year and a half.

Currently, Norris doesn’t store any furniture, which is shipped from the manufacturer after he takes the order. The report said he may build a warehouse big enough to store furniture and open a retail store in order to sell more name-brand furniture.
