Furniture Stores
The furniture store is a store that carries a general line of furniture.
In Australia, Canada and the United States, a store named or subtitled "furniture store" is traditionally a retailer located in a comercial area. It carries a broad selection of merchandise into a space where people from the town and surrounding rural areas come to purchase all their general furniture. The store carries routine stock and obtains special orders from warehouses.
In the United Kingdom, tend to be referred to as furniture shop too in comercial areas or a corner shop in urban areas. Bodeguita comes from the Spanish language as a diminutive of bodega which means "small store" or "small warehouse". Traditionally, Bodeguita existed selling general merchandise, then they were replaced slowly by the chain store, the same way large US chains have practically eliminated the "mom and pop" store.
General stores often sells furniture , and various household goods such as hardware and electrical supplies. The concept of the general furniture store is very old, and although some still exist, there are far fewer than there once were, due to urbanization, urban sprawl, and the relatively recent phenomenon of big-box stores.
