“Great location and large variety of things to look at. Would consider it more of a trinket shop, but it has a decent selection of larger/more valuable items. I purchased a wire basket to hold my crystals at home. My girlfriend purchased a leather bound journal, copper ring, and beaded bracelet. Definitely happy with our purchases! Woman behind the counter was less hands on while we were looking around as she was helping other customers; completely understandable. When checking out and listening in on conversations with other customers…she really knows this store! I always appreciate when the employees/workers know the product and appreciate it for what it is. She definitely does. I didn’t catch her name but she was working this afternoon/evening.”

Bob's Discount Furniture is growing while its competitors shrink. The Manchester, Connecticut-based retailer reported strong fourth-quarter results in its first earnings call since going public in February, with revenue climbing 8.2% to $648.8 million.

CEO Bill Barton told analysts the company plans to open about 20 new stores in 2026 and sees a path to more than 500 locations by 2035, roughly two and a half times its current 209-store footprint across 26 states.
