About Us

What began as a hardware business in Pelham, Georgia in 1915 has expanded into a network of exceptional furniture stores serving Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Virginia through Ashley.

The Founders of the company were the late Moses Wright Turner, Sr., and his son the late Moses Wright Turner, Jr. Despite the bad economy during the Great Depression and World Wars I and II, the company continued to grow. Over the years, the family branched out, adding two more furniture stores, one located in Bainbridge in 1940 and another in Tifton in the 1950’s. Scott R. Turner came home and became involved in the business at the Pelham store.

January 1, 2002, Russell Turner and Scott Turner opened their first Ashley store in Tallahassee. A second store was opened in Mobile, Alabama in October of 2003 and a third store was opened in Pensacola, Florida in March 2004. The Ashley division saw enormous growth in 2006 through 2007 with the opening of stores in Biloxi, MS; Spanish Fort, AL; Greensboro, NC; Winston-Salem, NC; Thomasville, GA; Opelika AL; Columbus, GA, and Burlington, NC. In 2014, a new Ashley store was opened in Albany, GA. In 2015, the Danville, VA store was acquired. In October 2017, we opened the first Ashley Outlet in Greensboro, NC. The Macon, GA, and Warner Robins, GA locations were acquired in November 2018.

Spring of 2020 brought more growth to the company with the acquisition of five new locations. Crestview, FL; Dothan, AL; Enterprise, AL; Ft. Walton Beach, FL; and Panama City, FL were added. And again in 2022, there was even more growth
