Scott Larson

Today, Eddie’s son Scott, the fourth generation to be in the furniture business, operates the Redwood Falls and Marshall stores.  After working for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, he returned to Redwood Falls to join his father and grandfather in 1974.  Scott considers it a privilege to be the caretaker of a fine business legacy and knows his great grandfather would be pleased that what he started has lasted for 100 years.  Scott says,

"We don’t always know where we are going, but we don’t ever forget where we came from."

Retailing and business in general certainly has changed in the 30 years that Scott has lived in Redwood Falls.

"We used to unload furniture from boxcars on the railroad siding on Tin Street. My great-grandfather would be amazed to see how on-line catalogs, web sites, toll-free telephone numbers, fax, e-mail, and instant credit have increased the pace of business. 

"Furniture also has changed.  Mattresses are engineered for optimal comfort and support. Action furniture, such as vibrating recliners and lift chairs, entertainment centers to hold our electronic equipment and of course computer desks would all be of interest to him."

Under Scott’s management, both stores have been expanded. Color choices, types of furniture, and style variety are greater than they have ever been.

"I think my early relatives would also be pleased to see what has not changed.  All customers appreciate consistency, honesty, and friendly, knowledgeable staff.  We remain in awe and total respect of our predecessors’ hard work."

Larson’s Home Furnishings is a modern business that still focuses on the basics of Quality, Service, Price and Selection.
