American Freight Furniture and Mattress opened its first Texas store in the northeast region last week. The new Tyler store is 20,000 square feet and is located at 305 N. Northwest Loop 323. The new store will create 8-12 new jobs.
“We’re very happy to open our newest location in Tyler,” said Kevin O’Keefe, vice president. “The hardworking people in this Texas community need a furniture store that offers quality furniture and mattresses at everyday low prices. Plus, we’re excited to be near The University of Texas at Tyler to give students and faculty a discount furniture option.”
The retailer offers free layaway, same-day delivery, and a flexible payment option to “take it home today for $50 with low, easy payments”. The selection includes living room furniture, dining tables, accessories, mattresses, and bedroom.
Since 1994 American Freight has been purchasing products directly from manufacturers and selling in warehouse-style stores. The company says they are able to fulfill their mission of saving customers money on quality furniture and mattresses by using this strategy. According to a press release issued by the company this formula has made them one of the fastest-growing furniture retailers in the U.S. with over 160 stores.
