I heard Bob's stores got mad at them for stealing their name, but that is a different type of Bob's. They replaced a lot of Sears Homelife stores.

The Bob's distribution center is located in Taftville, Ct.
There is a guy that owns Amazing Furniture, about a mile down the road from the center. He's hilarious, talking smack on Bob every chance he can get, he even puts direct jabs at Bob's in his ads.

Bob owns a development company out of Salem, ct as well. He just recently bought a whole strip mall in the sticks. Who the heck knows what he is planning to do with it, but he bought out all the tenants leases to get them outta there.

I'm so surprised to learn that Bob's Discount Furniture just opened in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. King of Prussia is an upper-class town. (I know KOP isn't really a town. It's part of Upper Marion Township).
