Rumor has it, this warehouse on the corner of 17th Street & Broadway Avenue will soon be home to Conlin’s Furniture upon its departure from Gateway Fashion Mall later this year. This building has been owned by Conlin’s Furniture for several years, one of two warehouses the retailer owns in Bismarck, and is currently undergoing major renovation that is said to include the installation of public restrooms.
Furniture stores tend to be destination-type stores, meaning they don’t need to be situated in high traffic areas to be successful, instead relying on reputation and product lines. This new building seems to be a good fit for Conlin’s Furniture, and returns to their pattern of owning their buildings as their location at Gateway Mall was the first in the company’s Bismarck history to be leased, rather than owned by the company.
Conlin’s Furniture is regional furniture chain with locations in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wyoming, and Montana. This move will mark their fourth location since Conlin’s purchased Bismarck-based Reff’s Furniture in 1955.
