\n Zarfos Furniture at 21 W. Broadway started a going-out-of-business sale Friday, one that will continue until the store closes, said Rich Bulgarelli, the current owner.<\/p>\n
“It’s time,” he said. “It was a tough decision, but it’s a business decision.”<\/p>\n
Bulgarelli said he hired an outside firm to help with the liquidation process, which should take until September or October.<\/p>\n
Zarfos Furniture has been faced with major changes in the furniture industry, Bulgarelli said, including that people increasingly are turning to the Internet and wholesale clubs for their furniture.<\/p>\n
“Things are just drastically different, and maybe where we’re located is not as good an advantage as it once used to be,” he said.<\/p>\n
There have also been major changes recently in styles of furniture and where furniture is made.<\/p>\n
Zarfos Furniture traces its roots to C.W. Detwiler, which was purchased by Charles Zarfos and his brother-in-law, Earl Burg, in January

\n1907. Zarfos eventually bought out his partner in the 1930s and a decade later formed a new partnership with his children.<\/p>\n
In 1995, Bulgarelli came on as a sales manager and assumed ownership of the company in 2003.<\/p>\n
The going-out-of-business sale that started Friday features some of the lowest prices the store has ever offered, Bulgarelli said.<\/p>\n
