This furniture are named Harlem Furniture because of its flagship location on Harlem Street, the company was founded by Sam Berman in 1912 in downtown Chicago. The family-run furniture retailer (Berman's grandson, Bruce, is president and CEO) sells furniture by the room at a discount and operates about 15 retail stores, primarily in Illinois.
In 2005 private equity firms Pouschine Cook Capital, Bear Growth Capital, and Mercantile Capital, acquired a controlling stake in Harlem Furniture. With the increased funding, the company expects to double in size within four years, expanding its store count in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
