Breuners Home Furnishings

The store was founded in 1856 by William Robert “Bill” Breuner's great-grandfather John Breuner (1828–1890) to cater to prospectors during the California gold rush. The first store opened in Sacramento, California, with subsequent branches in Oakland, San Francisco and later throughout California and Nevada. The company went public in 1968 under Bill Breuner. Breuner sold the company in the 1970s and it was acquired by Marshall Field's in 1983. At its height Breuners operated 40 retail outlets. The stores were large bigboxes around 140,000 square feet (13,000 m2). By the 1990s the company was based in San Diego and in 1995 expanded into the New York and New Jersey markets by acquiring Huffman Koos’ 13 stores for 36.9 million dollars. Breuners also owned Good's Furniture stores. Private investment company Oak Point Partners acquired the remnant assets, consisting of any known and unknown assets that weren't previously administered, from the Breuners Home Furnishings Corp., et al., Bankruptcy Estates on November 13, 2012.
