Company OverviewBiltRite Furniture is an easy to shop, family-owned and operated business since 1928 that services the Metro-Milwaukee area. We offer a large selection of quality North American-made furniture, both in stock or special orders are available.A Brief History of BiltRite Furniture Family Owned and Operated Since 1928 1928 BiltRite Furniture opens on 3rd and Garfield in Milwaukee, founded by Irwin Kerns as an upholstery shop. The store sold custom made sofas for about $1,000 in the 1930’s, and has continued its reputation for quality furniture for four generations. While Bilt-Rite no longer builds its own furniture, the furniture now sold at Bilt-Rite comes from by brand name companies, with the vast majority manufactured in the US and Canada. 1948 BiltRite moves to 723 West Mitchell Street. 1989 BiltRite acquires an additional building on Mitchell Street and remodels to connect four buildings (one of which was the old Park movie theater, another an A & P) as one large multi-level store. 1994 BiltRite becomes a founding member of FurnitureFirst, a billion dollar buying group that helps independent retailers across the country pass savings onto consumers as well as compete with national chains. 2005 BiltRite purchases land in Greenfield to build a new facility. 2006 BiltRite relocates to the new 65,000 sq. ft. location that includes our showroom, warehouse, and offices. 2008 BiltRite celebrates their 80th Anniversary. |
