Company History
Paddy O' Furniture was founded in 1988 in Phoenix, Arizona by a young entrepreneur that grew up working in a family owned furniture store in the Midwest. This is where he experienced first hand the importance of relationship building with his customers. It is those same small town values that continue to be the foundation upon which the company continues to grow and succeed.
At inception of the company, Paddy O' Furniture manufactured and retailed only patio furniture made from PVC pipe materials. The pipe was similar to that of plumbing pipe, but was specially formulated to enhance the aesthetics and durability for outdoor furniture.
In 1991, the owner was joined by his brother to open the first brick and mortar Paddy O' Furniture retail store. It was located at 41St and Bell Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Shortly there after, they acquired distribution rights to retail Homecrest Furniture. This was the first of many additions to the company's original product offering. Since that time, Paddy O' Furniture has become home to some of the finest brands of outdoor furniture.
Paddy O' Furniture has become a sought after place of employment. Based upon a strong value system and mission, Paddy O' employees are valued and appreciated for the strengths they bring to the table. Paddy O' Furniture provides a comprehensive training program that ensures that the customers' needs for their area are met in the store or at the customers' homes.
In the last decade, Paddy O' Furniture, Inc. has grown into a multi-location, multi-million dollar retailer of outdoor furniture and accessories. Paddy O' Furniture is commonly recognized as a National Power Retailer by Casual Living Magazine.
What's In a Name?
The name Paddy O' Furniture was created by the founder of the company. The first inspiration came from his roommate at the time. His roommate asked what he had planned for an upcoming weekend. He would respond like any retailer would... "Working". The roommate then commented, "Oh, you have another date with patio furniture?" After speaking with his mother about the proposed name for the business, the founder's mother suggested that they spell it as a play on words. She thought a more masculine influence for her son would be better and suggested the Irish way...
