Diamond
Furniture was founded in 1927 by Herman S. Diamond. The company
began selling small items door-to-door, allowing customers
to pay a small amount weekly on their account. Eventually,
customers began asking for small appliances and furniture.
And soon, the first Diamond store was opened by the Diamond
Family, Tom Stoeckle, and a small staff.
Diamond Furniture grew quickly, and even as
they moved into new locations, they always remained a part
of the Kensington community of Philadelphia. In 1976, a major
fire destroyed their store at 2929 Kensington Avenue. In order
to survive during this tragic time, the Diamond Family decided
to "sell direct" from their warehouse offering low
prices to raise cash rather than offering customers store
credit. To everyone's amazement, this new approach generated
more sales and customer interest than ever before.
This idea evolved into the current Diamond business
model keeping our overhead to a minimum so that we can offer
customers tremendous brand name selection, incredibly low
prices and outstanding value.
Diamond Furniture believes in providing exceptional
service to our customers. For five straight years (2008-2012), our customers
voted Diamond Furniture the coveted and prestigious Courier
Post Reader's Choice Best of South Jersey in home furnishings.
Because of our commitment to community and to service, we
are proud of the amount of repeat and referral business we
receive.
