About Gardner White

Inspiring Homes. Strengthening Communities. Shaping What’s Next.

For more than a century, Gardner White has helped generations of Michigan families create spaces where life happens.

Our Story

Home Has Always Meant More than Furniture to Us

It’s where birthdays are celebrated, children take their first steps, holidays become traditions, and families gather after long days. For more than a century, Gardner White has had the privilege of helping generations of families create spaces where life happens.

Founded in Detroit in 1912, Gardner White has grown into Michigan’s largest family-owned furniture and mattress retailer—and one of the Midwest’s fastest-growing home furnishing companies—while remaining true to the vision that defines the company: Delivering unmatched customer experiences and bringing joy to every home.

Today, we are entering one of the most exciting chapters in our history. With continued expansion across Michigan and into Ohio, a new corporate headquarters in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and a reinvigorated investment in design, innovation and customer experience, Gardner White is redefining what a modern home furnishings retailer can be.

While much has changed over the years, one thing remains—our mission to:

Inspire families to celebrate all of life’s moments, comfortably.
