About Dunk & Bright Furniture
Dunk & Bright Furniture was started in 1927. It has evolved from a local store to one of the biggest furniture retailers in New York State. Founded in Syracuse, the brand has remained a locally based, family-owned business for almost a century.
The company has expanded steadily over the years. A second location opened in Clay in 2022, followed by a third in Rochester, bringing the retailer’s total to three. Now, the retailer has three locations, with a third recently opened in Rochester.
Dunk & Bright features a broad selection of home furnishings, including living room, bedroom, dining room, and office furnishings, mattresses, carpeting, and accessories.
The retailer has an interior design team to provide free home design consultations. This commitment to in-person support, as well as delivery and custom orders, has allowed the company to retain local customers.
The move to close Dunk & Bright’s South Salina Street location marks the end of a long run in Syracuse’s retail landscape. The brand’s longtime loyal customers are looking forward to shopping in the final days, with discounted prices expected.
