Description

Lack's Stores, Inc., a Texas corporation, was founded in 1938 by its present chairman, David B. Lack, and is one of the largest, independently-owned retail furniture chains in the United States. Lacks is a chain of 39 retail stores and operates under the trade styles Lacks and Lacks Furniture Center. The Company sells a complete line of furnishings for the home including furniture, bedding, major appliances and home electronics. The stores are located in South, Central, and West Texas and one store in Oklahoma.The nucleus of the current Company was formed on February 28, 1938, when David B. Lack opened a small auto supply store in Beeville, Texas. Because of the chronic shortage of cars and new auto parts during World War II, Dave Lack diversified into furniture in an attempt to maintain sales volume. Furniture did well, and so became a growing segment of Lacks total business.In 1952, by which time the Company had expanded to five retail stores, Lacks made a commitment to become a furniture and appliance chain. It continued to carry auto supplies, tires and other hardware items at all locations, but the merchandising emphasis switched to home furnishings. The original automotive and hardware merchandise was eventually phased out in the 1970's.L
