Art Van Furniture is a family-owned company that started with one small store in 1959.
Since the beginning, Art Van’s philosophy of doing business, was to provide guests with quality furniture at prices lower than competing discount stores. At the same time, offer a full range of services that could only be found at specialty stores.
Local consumers embraced this formula of high quality, low prices and complete guest service. Over the years, Art Van added stores throughout the state making it Michigan’s largest furniture retailer and America’s largest independent furniture retailer. It remains a family owned business dedicated to the tradition of total guest satisfaction.
Art Van Furniture now operates 29 stores in 29 cities throughout Michigan. We employ over 3500 associates. The National Home Furnishings Association, named Art Van Elslander, chairman, the 1998 Retailer of the Year. The Michigan Retailer’s Association named the company 2000 Retailer of the Year. In 2001, Van Elslander was inducted into the American Furniture Hall of Fame. In 2003 and 2004 Art Van Furniture was voted Michigan’s Best Home Furnishings Store and Michigan’s Best Contemporary Furnishings Store by a Detroit News poll.
