A longtime staple in western Oklahoma and Elk City is closing it’s doors.
After operating in Elk City for 33 years, Terry’s Furniture Showroom will be closing.
Longtime employee and Manager David Osterloh described the history of Terry’s Furniture when owner-operator Terry Schones got the idea to open a furniture store in Elk City while working at a furniture store in Oklahoma City.
Osterloh said, to Terry – it just made sense.
Osterloh said the store is currently liquidating their remaining inventory and plan to open one final day for business on Monday.
It was announced in May that Elk Supply Company will be relocating their Elk City Ace Home Center to the building that will see the facility be renovated into a retail hardware store of 40,000 square feet and a building materials/lumberyard of 50,000 square feet.
Elk Supply also plans to utilize the vacant Long John Silver’s Building as it’s Lawn and Garden Center.
