History
The first Conlin's Furniture store opened in Williston, North Dakota in 1937.[1][2] Shortly thereafter, company co-founder Edward Conlin purchased all shares of the company and began expanding.
In 2004 the company opened a new store in the Gateway Fashion Mall in Bismark, North Dakota, bringing the total number of Conlin stores to 18.[3]
During the 2008 Great Recession Conlin's closed its Sioux Falls store, citing "reduced customer traffic", and reducing the total number of stores to 16, located in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Montana and Wyoming.[2]
Selection
As do most furniture stores, a typical Conlin's store offers furniture from all room groups, including living room, bedroom, and dining room. Conlin's features a wide-array of national brands, including La-Z-Boy, Broyhill, Sealy, Simmons, and A-America.
