Century-Old Furniture Store Closes | Dallas News

After 103 years, Baker’s Main Street Furniture in Garland, Texas, is closing its doors — a bittersweet farewell for the third-generation owners, David and John Baker. Once a hardware store turned full-service furniture emporium, the family business has weathered retail upheaval and shifting consumer habits. With no interest from the fourth generation — who’re pursuing medicine and military careers — the brothers made the tough but necessary decision to shut down. They’ll stay open until every last piece of furniture sells, letting customers decide the final day. It’s not just an ending — it’s a legacy, filled with memories of their grandfather and father, and a quiet nod to the enduring spirit of family-run America.
