By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on February 2007 Conlin’s Furniture, Bismarck, N.D., will add a 17th store by acquiring Roer’s Furniture of Alexandria, Minn., and converting it to the Conlin’s nameplate by late summer. It will be the company’s first store in Minnesota.

The current owner, Ray Roer, plans to sell the store’s remaining inventory and close the business as part of the sales agreement.

“Roer’s family and staff have built up a significant regional business focused on excellent customer service and customer relationships,” said Joe Conlin, CEO of the 70-year-old Conlin’s chain. “Our plan is to continue that level of service and leverage our buying power as a chain to bring even more leading brand selections to the area at very attractive prices.”

The company operates 16 stores in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming.
