TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — In late July, Tucson furniture chain Sam Levitz announced the closing of one location, with two more to close at a later date, according to a written statement from the company to KGUN 9.
Now just over two months later the furniture company's website says a going out of business sale is underway at its remaining two locations, 3750 W. Orange Grove Road and 3430 E. 36th St.
A 'thank you' video posted to the Sam Levitz Furniture site says "After 71 amazing years serving greater Tucson and surrounding communities, everyone at Sam Levitz furniture has a final thing to say: Thank you."
Sam Levitz, who passed away in 2005, opened his first location in 1953 as the first television store in Tucson. Prior to his death, Levitz retired and handed the business over to his son, Sam R. Levitz.
