PENN TWP — After spanning three generations and more than 60 years in business, Furniture Galleries will close its doors following a liquidation sale beginning Jan. 18.

The family-owned business sells home furnishings at 465 Pittsburgh Road.

“We have had really great fortune to have such great customers,” owner and president Jody Offstein said. “The last three years have been our best.”

Furniture Galleries is in its third generation of management by the Offstein family. The business was started by Jody’s grandparents, Albert and Bernice Offstein.

“Long term, we just didn’t know who would take on the responsibility of this,” Offstein said. “Our employees are so fantastic, and with a tight job market, I thought now would be a good time where, if we did close the doors, they would have no problem finding a job.”
