Shreveport is gearing up for the conclusion of an era as Bewley’s Furniture announces it will hold its final Labor Day sale in 2025. Founded in 1926, the family-owned business has been a staple of the ArkLaTex region for nearly 100 years. The Webb family, who has owned the store since 1989, will soon cease operations to clear out the remaining inventory over the next month or two.
CEO Craig Webb indicated that the decision to close the store was influenced by the passing of their father, Jerry Webb, over a year ago. The emotional toll of closing the store, which their father built and cherished, adds a significant weight to the announcement. Many customers have come forward to share fond memories, recalling the experiences of shopping with loved ones at Bewley’s. This connection to the community highlights the store’s role beyond just a retail space, making it a cherished landmark in Shreveport.
As Bewley’s prepares to close its doors, customers can expect the final Labor Day sale to offer special deals and discounts as a farewell gesture. The store is well-known for its exceptional customer service, knowledgeable staff, and next-day delivery options, which have set it apart in the competitive furniture market. Customers can also take advantage of tailored financing options to help them with their purchases.
In addition to Bewley’s closing, the Shreveport area is witnessing the closure of another long-established furniture store, Creamer Furniture, which has been in business for over 50 years. Creamer is scheduled to hold an auction on September 8, 2025, signaling yet another loss for the local community.
Bewley’s Furniture has built a strong reputation as a one-stop shop for furniture and home decor in Shreveport, attracting generations of families who have turned to the store for their furnishing needs. As the date for the final sale approaches, the Webb family and customers alike are reflecting on the profound impact Bewley’s has had on the local community over the decades.
