Even though Ambrose Furniture has grown a great deal over the last 60+ years, it still remains a family business.
When H.H. Ambrose opened Ambrose Furniture in 1946, he gave up a life as a traveling preacher. But the values that he preached about – honesty, reliability, thoughtfulness – became a deeply instilled business philosophy which is still alive and well at Ambrose Furniture.
In 1984 the business expanded beyond Elizabeth City when H.H’s son, Marion & his wife Betty opened the Kitty Hawk store.In 1988 they opened the largest store in Coinjock. Now the stores are owned and operated by Marion and Betty’s sons, West and Barry.
Were our grandfather alive today, I think he’d be very proud of our success, but I think that he’d be even prouder of how we conduct our business. We haven’t lost the personal touch that so many people are grateful to discover.
