New Member Profile: Welcome Atlantic Bedding and Furniture!


The Partnership has recently welcomed Atlantic Bedding and Furniture (ABF) to its growing list of members.  We believe that as a national company with a local owner/operator, Atlantic Bedding will benefit from the extensive networking and business expertise offered by the Partnership.  We believe that these tools will expand Atlantic’s customer base and accelerate their success.


Atlantic Bedding sets itself apart by offering quality bedding, furniture, and accessories at rock bottom prices.  Local owner/operator Chris Schunk operates the WNY showroom and warehouse in Lancaster, New York, which is a part of a network of 40+ outlets across the eastern United States.  Schunk views the Lancaster showroom as his first and has plans to expand both in Western New York and into other regions as well.  For customer convenience, shipping to the nearest outlet is always included in the price or you can ask about a white-glove home delivery option. 


Why Atlantic Bedding and Furniture Joined the Partnership:

Chris says he views the Partnership as a tool for his success as an entrepreneur and is excited about what is to come.  “There is an extensive network of businesses throughout the region that can be beneficial to other businesses, and the Partnership helps facilitate these connections,” says Schunk.  As an entrepreneur, he chose Buffalo as the place to start his business adding, “I love Western New York, and when I found Atlantic Bedding and Furniture I found a perfect fit for me and Western New York because it brings a great value to the area that it deserves.”
