Our customers will experience a no hassle atmosphere and the opportunity to take advantage of Bob’s discount throughout all four locations " said Nino Biscanin, Store Manager for Bob’s Discount Furniture. “Giving back is a big part of our culture and we are looking forward to partnering with Fairmeadows Elementary School and FreeStore to assist local families in the area.”
