Boca Raton, FL 1910–2008
Levitz popularized the warehouse-showroom furniture store: shoppers walked through a furnished showroom, then took their purchases home the same day from the attached warehouse instead of waiting weeks for delivery. The slogan 'You'll love it at Levitz' made it a household name and the model reshaped furniture retailing nationwide. Burdened by debt and outflanked by newer competitors, Levitz cycled through bankruptcies and finally liquidated in 2008.
