Our History

Henry Stanhope Badcock founded the W.S. Badcock Corporation in 1904. An immigrant from England, he opened the first Badcock store in Mulberry, Florida.

His son, Wogan, established the idea of the route salesman, who would use small trucks, traveling designated routes, to sell the Badcock merchandise. This laid the groundwork for the dealer model, which is still the foundation of Badcock’s business today. At the same time, Wogan introduced the practice of selling furniture to customers on credit and collecting on installment accounts. The principal of easy, fair credit was a novel concept at the time, and Wogan Badcock was a forerunner of the way that most merchandise transactions are handled today.

Badcock is driven now, just as it was in 1904, by providing customers with the color and style of home furnishings they want in an atmosphere that allows them to picture the furniture in their own home. With the company continuing to grow, the future looks bright for the W.S. Badcock Corporation. On November 22, 2021, the company was purchased by and is now a subsidiary of Franchise Group Inc. (NASDAQ: FRG).

By delivering high quality products and putting our customers’ needs first, the corporation has established a strong business plan, and a reputation for excellence in customer service, which will continue to fuel future growth and opportunities for the W.S. Badcock Corporation.
