Frederick Furniture

In the fall of 1936 Mr. And Mrs. H. C. Frederick opened a small family-operated furniture store in downtown Grundy Center. They employed only four people and featured fine quality furniture and floor covering at fair prices. The business grew and prospered through the years, and after WWII and the Korean Conflict, their two sons Bruce and Craig Frederick joined the firm as partners. The original location was what is now the east half of the main store building. In 1963 the west half was purchased, and the entire building was remodeled, including additional balcony floor space, office areas, and the white brick storefront as seen today. In 1965 Mr. And Mrs. Craig Frederick became the owners and have operated the business since that time. Additional buildings have been added to provide more sales room and more warehouse space. Today, Frederick Furniture has four downtown locations and the huge central warehouse located near the east city limits of Grundy Center. The total floor space of over 45,000 sq.ft. is filled with famous name brand furniture and floor coverings. Frederick’s feature complete home furnishing and floor covering service with 16 employees – including two interior design graduates and four decorator sales consultants – to assist and assure complete satisfaction. Frederick’s business philosophy since 1936 has always been to serve the entire area of Central and Northeast Iowa with finer quality furniture, floor coverings, and draperies, at lower prices than available from anyone else and to provide complete friendly hometown service including decorator advice, delivery and set up, and full after-sale warranty and service.
