The goals of SAFBI are the same as they were in 1960, but now we have
history that proves this program works. SAFBI still uses the cumulative
buying power of its members to obtain the best pricing on merchandise
and advertising co-op and materials. As a result, SAFBI members are able
to operate their businesses more efficiently and effectively than ever
before.
SAFBI members are still encouraged to get involved by lending their
talents and services in order to further the growth and success of SAFBI
and its members.

In 1960, a small group of furniture retailers joined together to pool
their buying power in order to get volume pricing in merchandise they
purchased. They used their collective talents and resources to produce
high-quality, low-cost advertising. They established a central buying
office and warehouse in Dallas and worked very hard to make SAFBI a
success.
By 1985 SAFBI had outgrown the Dallas operation and bought their own
property in Terrell, Texas. In 1986 SAFBI completed their 60,000 square
foot warehouse and moved their entire operation to Terrell.
