American Furniture Warehouse was founded in 1975, when Jake Jabs took over the struggling, 90-year-old American Furniture Company. Located at 58th and Bannock in Denver, Colorado, Jabs changed the name and the direction of the company.

Presently headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, with 10 stores and 1600 employees, American Furniture Warehouse is one of the largest privately held companies in Colorado. Under Jabs' leadership over the past 30 years, the company has grown exponentially. Since the beginning, Jabs has been responsible for the day-to-day operations of the company and leads the company's team of buyers on multiple buying trips throughout the U.S. and overseas.

Serving more than 1 million customers each year in 20 states, American Furniture Warehouse offers its customers the largest selection of home furnishings and accessories at the lowest prices in the state. In fact, American Furniture Warehouse has the largest selection of furniture under one roof in the U.S.

Jake Jabs credits American Furniture Warehouse's success to "the basic American philosophies of hard work, long hours, self confidence, the courage to take risks, the desire to give value and service to every customer as well as the passion for community service."
