Haynes Furniture

One family radically changed the way Virginians acquired home furnishings. Their vision: to build Virginia’s biggest furniture store and to revolutionize the furniture industry. Thanks to the Strelitz family, Virginians can peruse an abundant 300,000 square feet filled with gorgeous furniture. Come see for yourself today!

Established in 1894.
Haynes Furniture has evolved through entrepreneurial innovation and a commitment to the people of Virginia. In 1930, Ellis Strelitz purchased a small furniture store in Norfolk from L.D. Haynes. Joined by his son and his younger brother, Mr. Strelitz set out to build Virginia’s biggest furniture store and to revolutionize the furniture industry. In the late 1950’s, the Strelitz brothers, now President and Executive Vice President of Haynes Furniture, moved the business to downtown Norfolk, and also acquired a small furniture store in Suffolk which became the second branch of Haynes Furniture. In the seventies, the Strelitz family radically changed the way Virginians acquired home furnishings. They realized that people want the biggest selection to choose from as well as the lowest price possible.
