About US_
The company was started by Samuel
Tatelman in 1918 in Waltham, Massachusetts. Samuel sold furniture out of
the back of a truck until 1926. In the late 1930s, his son Edward joined
the business. In 1973, Barry and Eliot Tatelman took over the business
from their father, Edward. They stopped advertising on the back page of
the Waltham paper and started on radio. In 1983, Barry and Eliot built
the Nashua, New Hampshire location, and it was extremely successful. In
1987, they opened the Avon, Massachusetts location, creating the largest
traffic jam ever recorded on Route 24.
Barry and Eliot had to go on the radio to beg people not to come.
Customers stood in line for hours waiting for their turn to go into the
showroom. On Mother's Day 1992, the Motion Odyssey Movie (MOM) opened in
the Avon store, after 5 years of planning and a $2.5 million investment.
Over 1 million people experienced MOM, raising more than $300,000 for
non-profit organizations.
On April 17, 1998, Barry and Eliot opened the biggest Jordan's Furniture
to date with 120,000 sq ft (11,000 m²). of showroom space and a Mardi
Gras/Bourbon Street theme, the Natick, Massachusetts location introduced
Jordan's to the MetroWest area. In October 1999, the Tatelman brothers
sold the company to investment firm Berkshire Hathaway.
The sale was intended to increase the financial backing of Jordan's
Furniture for future growth. To celebrate, each employee received a
financial gift of 50 cents for every hour ever worked at Jordan's.
Operationally, nothing changed. Barry and Eliot remained at the helm,
still starring in all radio/tv commercials and as integral parts of the
company.
On Thursday, August 22, 2002, the IMAX 3D Theater at Jordan's Furniture
in Natick opened its doors to the public. This new venue offered a new
level of "shoppertainment" in Jordan's Furniture history. The Waltham
store closed in 2004, the day the new Reading, Massachusetts store
opened, which was the largest of Jordan's locations.
It includes a complete showroom, warehouse, and 3D IMAX movie theater.
In addition, Jordan's opened a 750,000 sq ft (70,000 m²).
Warehouse/Office complex in Taunton, Massachusetts. In 2005, the
warehouse underneath the Avon store was converted into the Colossal
Clearance Center, containing over 60,000 square feet (5,600 m²) of
clearance merchandise.
