Haynes Furniture, The Dump closing after nearly 130 years
Haynes Furniture and The Dump Luxe Furniture Outlet are closing after nearly 130 years in business.
Haynes Furniture first opened on Grace Street in Richmond and Main Street in Norfolk. E. J. Strelitz, the family-owned chain's executive chairman, created The Dump with his brother-in-law and a team of people, and both stores have continued to operate within the family.
"This is a bittersweet ending, filled with gratitude for four generations of customers and employees," Strelitz said in a news release. "Thank you to everyone who helped us along the way."
Liquidation sales began at 10 a.m. Thursday across all Haynes and The Dump locations, managed by liquidation firm SB360 Capital Partners. Shoppers can expect discounts of 40% to 80% off retail prices on brand-name furniture, mattresses and rugs, with deeper markdowns expected as the liquidation progresses.
In Central Virginia, closing locations include Haynes Furniture stores on Hull Street Road in Richmond and West Broad Street in Henrico, as well as The Dump on Brook Road.
