History:
Founded in 1941 by Carl
and Vada Sheid. Carl grew up in retail, working for S. J. Hutchinson
in his hometown of Norfork, Arkansas. He learned that the customer
is the most important person in any business. "A person who brings
us his wants. It is our job to fill those wants!" He has based those
principles in every employee at Sheid's. Vada grew up near the White
River at Calico Rock where she learned to serve people as their
county welfare director. She likes helping her fellowman and not
only worked in the family business serving her customers. She was
elected the first woman to serve in both the Arkansas House and
Senate for which she served for over 20 years.
In 1972, Vada and Carl's son Richard graduated from the University
of Arkansas and returned home to help his parents operate the company.
The business continued to grow and serve the community. In 1978,
the decision was made to build the first in store furniture gallery
in Arkansas, featuring beautiful room settings instead of rows of
furniture. It was ahead of its time. Customers from all over the
country would travel to Mountain Home, Arkansas to see the beautiful
store. Richard too, believes in serving his community and state.
He was chairman of the Higher Education Board that brought Arkansas
State University to Mountain Home and was president of the Arkansas
State Furniture Dealers Association.
Today the Sheid family still believes the customer comes first and
is the lifeblood of this and every other business. Welcome home�Welcome
to Sheid's. We have grown from a small self service general store
that sold everything from clothing to groceries to the largest family
owned and operated home furnishing center in the Ozarks! Located
in North Central Arkansas at Mountain Home, between two beautiful
blue lakes, Norfork and Bull Shoals, and near America's First National
River, the Buffalo, and the world-famous White River Trout Stream.

our home furnishing center encompasses two city blocks fine furniture
