Marlo Furniture: Landmark and Tradition:
I am feeling a little bit nostalgic about Washington since I am new to
Berlin. I base all of my movements around Berlin on landmarks.
Currently, my major Berlin landmark is the Berlin Hauptbahnhof, for example. Marlo Furniture is for sure a landmark. When I wrote Marlo Furniture Has Been a Washington Tradition for More than 50-Years I had been thinking about Marlo Furnitures
place in time and hadn’t considered its time in place. What I mean to
say is that Marlo Furniture is the anchor for many other stores.
Marlo Furniture Goals and Business Philosophy
The Marlo Furniture Company strives for excellence and has since 1955,
in every aspect of its business. A strict adherence to its business
philosophies established over a period of forty years, has made it
possible for the company to continuously grow and prosper and become
Washington, D.C.’s largest and most progressive home furnishings
retailer. Via Washington Post Read the rest of this entry »
For
example, Creative Clay
advises, ” We are located just off the Edsall Road exit of 395, near
Marlo Furniture.” People all over Washington give directions based on
where it exists in relationship not only to the current superstores but
also to where it was born down on 7th street, NW. One person even gave
directions to a grave site based on where a Marlo Furniture stands in
Rockville, “We have the grave and (true)monument to F Scott Fitzgerald
in the cemetary across from Marlo Furniture in Rockville.” Yes, F.
Scott Fitzgerald! Either way, I think a lot can be said about a store
that has waited out everyone else. From the 50s through to the 21st
century! So, Marlo Furniture is not only a Washington tradition but also a Washington Landmark, too. (Via Because the Medium is the Message, Chris Abraham Online, Memes.org)

In 1955, the Marlo Furniture Company, then
operating under the name Ali Baba, started a small family-operated used
furniture business. In 1963, the family bought its first major showroom
location at 7th and I Streets, N.W. in Washington, D.C., and adopted
the name Marlo, a name created from both owners names: “Marilyn” and
“Lou.” This location provided the much needed room for Marlo
Furniture’s expanding business into new home furnishings for every
taste. (Via Washington Post) Read the rest of this entry »

After writing a nostalgic article about Marlo’s, I wondered how long Marlo Furniture has been around Washington. Over 50-years. Marlo Furniture has actually been in Washington longer than I have! “Marlo Furniture
opened its first store in 1955. Today, Marlo Furniture is the largest
furniture retailer in the Washington, D.C. area and one of America’s
top 70 furniture retailers. Over one million Washingtonians have
purchased their furniture from Marlo Furniture.” (Via Memes.org and Chris Abraham Online and MySpace and Friendster and Marlo Furniture Fans) Read the rest of this entry Marlo Furniture, Marlo Furniture Fans | Tagged: furniture retailer, furniture retailers, largest furniture, Marlo Furniture, memes, nostalgic, one million, top 70, tradition, washington d c, washingtonians Louis Glickfield, Founder and Chairman of Marlo Furniture
