A royal milestone: Furniture store celebrates 90 years

Royal Furniture of Port Jervis, N.Y., is about to reach a milestone rarely seen in family businesses — 90 years and still going strong.
Established in 1929 by Samuel Rosenstein, the business is still owned and operated by the same family. Rosenstein opened the store when he was 20 years old and his wife, Nettie, was 19.
Over the years, Royal Furniture has seamlessly transferred to Samuel’s daughter and son-in-law, Mady and Sol Ganz, and then to their daughter and son-in-law, Robin and Jim Radeloff. This natural transition of management kept up with the times, updating as furniture markets and trends evolved.
Ninety years and three generations later, Royal Furniture, at 128 Pike St., is still thriving as an anchor business in a historic city, which is now experiencing more and more progress in its business community.
The Royal showroom itself also evolved through the years. It now encompasses three floors and more than 30,000 square feet. The business was originally operated in one and then two adjacent buildings on lower Pike Street. In the mid-seventies, it expanded to occupy the entire corner lot. That expansion set the image for which the store is now widely known.
