By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on May 2008 The owners of Continental Furniture, Thomasville Home Furnishings, Urban Interiors and It’s Gotta Go—an operation with locations throughout greater Seattle—are closing three of its stores.

The company announced a strategic business decision to close Urban Interiors, It’s Gotta Go and a La-Z-Boy Comfort Center store. A consolidation sale begins Thursday representing $5 million in inventory. All business and services of the closing stores—and its six employees—will relocate to the company’s Continental Furniture and Thomasville of Puget Sound showrooms.

The sale will disburse the consolidation merchandise across its entire family of stores.

“We’ve enjoyed a tremendous relationship with the people of Seattle and surrounding communities for many years,” said Al Moscatel, owner. “In order to continue this tradition and insure our longevity, closing our Urban Interiors and It’s Gotta Go stores and consolidating our operation into Continental and Thomasville of Puget Sound showrooms will enable us to service the future needs of all our customers.”

The company owns three Thomasville stores in the Seattle area.
