Description

$100 Gift Certificate for Gates Furnishings.  Beautiful furnishings and home decor - the home town store.  Use this Certificate on any product in the store!  History of Gates Furniture: George Gates Jr. established Gates Furniture in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1946. The original 5000 square foot store was located on the corner of 7th and H Street. In 1952, George’s wife Lois assumed the position of store manager after George contracted polio, which left him a quadriplegic confined to respiratory equipment.

With George acting as consultant and Lois physically running the operation, Gates Furniture quickly gained a trustworthy reputation within the community. With their focus on providing great furniture values and customer satisfaction, Gates Furniture became one of the Rogue Valley’s most popular furniture stores of the 50’s and 60’s.


In 1973, after graduating from college, George and Lois’s son Giff temporarily joins the firm. Law school had been the plan for Giff until he unexpectedly found himself loving the family business. Giff Gates assumed the manager position in 1977 and 31 years later continues to manage and enjoy running the operation.

Gates Furniture has gone through many changes over the years. It’s gone from 5,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet, expanded to larger buildings and it’s even changed its name to Gates Home Furnishings. What hasn’t changed in over 60 years is the stores commitment to its employees, its customers and its community.

Local testimonials from the Gates website :http://www.gatesfurniture.com



 
Just wanted to send you all kudos. My parents recently moved to Grants Pass and your sales and service were beyond what we expect today. Tom, their salesman, was never pushy and very help ful. The original bedroom set and dining room table/chairs they purchased did not look good in the house (my mom was in tears) and your no hassle return policy was great. She picked out another bedroom and dining set, and the place looks great! My parents are in their 80s and you made everthing so easy for them. They will be puchasing the rest of their furniture from you. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Thanks so much.

This time I shopped by phone since I knew what I wanted; I didn't need to shop or compare elsewhere. You always have it.

We live in Medford and went to every store (except Winans - that's another story) and found what we needed in your store. Very pleasant experience.

We are first time buyers at Gates. When we told a couple of people at church about you, they also had good reports. What stood out the most was friendliness and helpfulness, not only from Kris but from office and delivery staff as well.
