About Us

History

Grand Manor Furniture has a long history of demonstrated success and has been in continuous operation since 1963.  Don Baker began the business in Lenoir, NC and successfully ran the company for over 40 years.  Earlier this decade Don sold the business to Bill Johnson.  Bill ran the business for over 10 years and (in turn) brought in Eric Roseman as a partner.  In April 2016, Bill and Eric sold the business to Samson Marketing, the US subsidiary of Samson Holdings.
