Finger running liquidation sale to prepare for Ashley changeover

Ashley HomeStore openings will begin in October

Clint Engel -- Furniture Today, August 21, 2008

SUGAR LAND, Texas - Finger Furniture is liquidating its four remaining Finger stores and will convert them to the Ashley Furniture HomeStores format, bringing a close to the 81-year-old store name in Houston.

Great American Furniture Services will run the liquidation sale. The five-member merchandising team will eventually leave the company as it phases out that department, said Finger President and CEO Rodney Finger. That does not include Rodney Tippit and Andrea Jacobs, buyers for the HomeStores.

I can commend your company and staff for meeting our goal of completing our sale within the allotted time frame. The real credit goes to your personnel.
