Levin Furniture

Levin Furniture is a Pittsburgh area furniture retailer. The company was founded in 1920 by Sam and Jessie Levin in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania as a general sales clearance center. In the 1940s, the Levin family phased out other items and began to concentrate on furniture. However, not until 1978, did the group expand from a large single store to a big box chain. In 1989, the company moved its operations into the Cleveland, Ohio market, which nearly doubled their size. Currently, the company features several furniture stores in Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as clearance centers and Levin Mattress bedding centers in both states.[1]

In November of 2017, Levin Furniture was acquired by Art Van Furniture of Warren, Michigan. In 2020, Art Van Furniture filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with plans to liquidate all company-owned stores. Former Levin Furniture owner Robert Levin stepped in soon after and signed a deal to buy back the Levin Furniture stores, as well as Wolf Furniture stores which had also been acquired by Art Van in 2017, to save them from potential closures.
