About FWS Home Furnishings

FWS stores are stacked, packed and crammed with an ever-changing inventory of quality furniture, mattresses, area rugs, carpeting and fabrics at closeout prices. Owners John Grimaldi and John Wanat bargain with makers of brand new brand name furniture, mattresses, area rugs, carpeting and fabric makers from around the world. With the belief that living shouldn’t cost too much, they accept only the lowest price so FWS can pass the savings on to you.

Established in Buffalo in 1962, the company sold everything from shoes to stoves and operated under different names as ownership changed. In 1973, Factory Warehouse Sales burst onto the scene when the ceiling of a Levitz Furniture warehouse collapsed. Over the years, FWS focused on closeouts and overstocks and then special order and mainstream lines of home furnishings as customer needs changed.

Today, FWS Home Furnishings returns to its roots as Western New York’s ONLY closeout specialist for unique furniture, mattresses, area rugs, carpeting and fabrics. In a world where big box retailers offer all the same styles and looks with inflated prices, FWS offers real prices on real home furnishings for real life.
