After more than 70 years, Beck’s Furniture & Sleep is shutting its last remaining store in the Sacramento area
The furniture chain recently announced plans to close its Rancho Cordova location, according to reporting by the Sacramento Business Journal.
Stacia Beckinger, president of Beck’s Furniture, told the Sacramento Business Journal that the operators have decided to permanently close the business and retire.
Here’s what to know:
What is Beck’s Furniture & Sleep?
Beck’s Furniture & Sleep was founded by Robert S. Beckinger in 1952, according to the store’s Instagram.
Over the course of several decades, the furniture store chain expanded across the Sacramento area, The Sacramento Bee previously reported.
The chain sells a wide range of home furniture, including bedroom sets, couches and tables.
Over the past 26 years, Beck’s Furniture and its ownership has faced a series of legal challenges.
Beckinger, then the owner of Beck’s Furniture, was convicted in 1999 for violating terms of an earlier sex crime-related sentence. He has since died.
In 2010, Beck’s Furniture customers hit the company with a class action lawsuit after vouchers for free groceries that were not honored, according to The Bee’s archives.
Where will furniture store close in Sacramento area?
Beck’s Furniture & Sleep is slated to close at 11840 Folsom Blvd. in Rancho Cordova, off Marketplace Lane.
The store, which is in front of Radius Recycling, is the third Beck’s Furniture & Sleep store to shut its doors in recent years.
The furniture chain’s Carmichael location closed in the early 2020s.
Beck’s Furniture closed its store at 7272 55th St. in Sacramento at the end of March, according to a company Facebook post.
When will Rancho Cordova location shut its doors?
As of Tuesday, Aug. 19, Beck’s Furniture had yet to announce an official closing date.
“We love our people and are not ready to close doors just yet,” Beckinger told the Sacramento Business Journal. “There’s no real sense of urgency.”
Ahead of the Rancho Cordova store’s closure, Beck Furniture plans to hold an inventory sale with “huge price cuts” on name-brand furniture, the Sacramento Business Journal reported.
As of midday Tuesday, store representatives had not responded to The Sacramento Bee’s request for comment.
