Tepperman’s is celebrating 95 years as a family-owned businesses serving Southwestern Ontario. With six large-format retail stores Tepperman’s has grown from a small family business to one of Ontario’s leading furniture retailer.
Tepperman’s was founded in 1925, when Nate Tepperman immigrated to Canada from Europe at the age of 20, and began selling rugs door to door. He carved out a unique niche in the marketplace by selling items on credit and collecting payment in instalments. This model remained a key part of Tepperman’s success for nearly 100 years. Today, Tepperman’s is one of the only home furnishings retailers in North America to offer in-house credit.
“95 years ago, Nate and Rose Tepperman created a foundation that Bill and Rochelle Tepperman strengthened, and this has continued to be transformed by the third generation, alongside an incredible team,” said Andrew Tepperman, President of Tepperman’s.
As part of its legacy, Tepperman’s has also been recognized for its contributions and support to environmental and community outreach programs. Corporate social responsibility is a focus at Tepperman’s, a commitment that has driven the company towards adopting practices to ensure a sustainable and responsible future.
