The Jordan's Furniture Timeline
For nearly 100 years, our family has provided well-built, quality furniture to the people of New England. It all started with our grandfather Samuel, selling furniture from the back of his truck. Now, we're proud to say that a 4th generation continues the tradition.
It's All in the Numbers

In 25 years, the J-Team grows from 15 employees to over 1,000 employees. In the next few years, Jordan's Furniture will double in size, both in volume and employees. |
|
|
An average furniture store turns over its inventory 1 - 2 times per year. At Jordan's, we turn over inventory 13 times per year. |
|
|
Whereas a typical furniture store is promotion and sales-oriented, Jordan's has "underprices" and no sales. |
|
|
The Avon and Natick stores each have a 650-car parking lot. On an average weekend day, more than 4,000 people visit the store. |
|
|
Although most retailers spend approximately 7% for marketing and advertising, Jordan's spends about 2%. |
|
|
As Jordan's continues to grow, sales per square foot also increase. Jordan's averages sales of $950 per square foot whereas most furniture retailers average sales of $150 per square foot. According to "Furniture Today", Jordan's has the #1 sales per square foot in the country. |
|
|
As of 2004, Jordan’s has 4 stores with the following square feet of retail space: Natick (110,00 sq ft), Avon (85,000 sq ft), Nashua (54,000 sq ft), and Reading
(260,000 sq ft). |
