Green Front Furniture

Alan Price, a designer representing Hancock and Moore Furniture, one of the top American made leather companies, will be giving a leather exhibition for Green Front customers this Saturday, June 1, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the courtyard between buildings #8 and #9 (Farmville Location).

About the Designer

Alan Price began his furniture career at the age of two as a furniture model. He spent years at furniture factories in his father’s shadow, and later became the president of his father’s company, William Alan. Price studied furniture design and marketing at High Point University in North Carolina. He currently operates his company, Mind Traveler, out of an old building that used to manufacture stained glass.

Before bringing his creative concepts to Hancock & Moore, Price designed for such names as Columbia Pictures, Hilton Properties, Ralph Lauren Home, Orvis and many more. Price brings a unique rugged appearance to the Hancock & Moore line, incorporating everyday inspirations into his work.

Building #8 (Farmville) is literally packed floor to ceiling with beautiful English furniture!  There are a limited amount of English antiques, some dating back as far as the late 1800’s.  These antiques sell out quickly, so if you are interested, hurry to Building #8.

You won’t find better prices anywhere on this unique, high quality English furniture.

Building #12, “The Boneyard,” was renovated from the old Mullins Chevrolet, a popular car lot throughout the 60’s and 70’s.

Packed full of overstocks, most under wholesale cost, The Boneyard is jammed full of accessories, furniture, and rugs — a great place to shop for the thrift conscious person.

Furnish and decorate a beginning home, look for great gifts, decorate a rental, add an inexpensive rug to spruce up a room, etc — you can find it in The Boneyard!

Where Building #15 stands now were three early stores: Chappell’s department store, an eatery, and a men’s shop. Later on, the Baldwin family purchased the three stores, combining them into one family department store where many area residents shopped.

In the early 90’s, Kyle Baldwin retired and sold the building to Green Front Furniture.  It was perfect timing since Green Front Accessories was expanding, importing additional products through their travels across the globe in search of beautiful and unique home décor.

Stepping into Building #15 now will amaze even the most seasoned buyer.  At every turn, the gorgeous displays of furniture and accessories will make you feel at home.

If you are searching for a rug other than one of the million oriental rugs Green Front has in stock, Building #15 is loaded with 2×3, 5×8, and 8×10 rugs from Loloi to Kas that will fit any style.  Unique textures, designs, colors, in both transitional and contemporary styles.

Manufacturers found in Building #15 include Sherrill, CTH Sherrill, Motioncraft, Wesley Hall, Lauren Grey, Four Hands, Uttermost, Loloi Rugs, Kas Rugs, Fanimation, Murray Feiss, and CTH Occasional.

In the mid 1950’s, there were three storefronts where this one building is now.

In one of the stores, Dickie Cralle’s father opened a grocery store, Green Front Grocery, which specialized in meats.  Soon thereafter, one of the adjacent stores became available and Mr. Cralle bought it, deciding to sell furniture.  So began the story of Green Front Furniture.

Later in the mid 1960’s, Mr. Cralle sold the buildings to Leggett’s and moved up the street to Building#1, where Green Front’s main store is now. Leggett’s later tore down these three storefronts, replacing them with a more modern building. But in the early 80’s, Leggett’s moved out to a shopping center on the outskirts of town, as most downtown businesses did, and Green Front was able to purchase the building and expand into the accessory market. Green Front Accessories was born.

Manufacturers found in Building #5 include American Drew, Artistica, Lea Furniture, Hammary, Paladin, Design Master, Cooper Classic, Howard Miller, Brooks, CMI, Port 68, Laftbank Art, Olliix Bedding, Curry & Co, Eastern Accents, Denny Lamps, Freidman Brothers, Majestic, Mystic Valley, Paragon, Possible Dreams, Sedgefield, Timeworks, and Wildwood.

**The Christmas Room is now open!**

If you want to add a dramatic edge to a room that needs an uplift, try adding animal prints. Animal prints can be used with traditional or contemporary furniture, and as long as you don’t go overboard, they don’t go out of style. When in moderation, a little pop of leopard or cheetah can really make a room come alive, adding a touch of elegance, style and texture.

Contact Green Front to find out how to spice up your room with an alluring animal print, or come shop in one of our 12 packed warehouses filled with superior quality furniture.
