ROY — In today’s era of superstores,
often owned by someone thousands of
miles away, it’s refreshing to know there
are still some hometown people serving
the community.
One such business is Sparrow’s
Home Furnishings, 4456 S. 1900 W. in
Roy. It has been serving the area for 60
years, since March 1, 1950. It was started
as a family business and has continued as
a family business.
It was organized as H. D. Sparrow
Co. by H. D. Sparrow and sons H. Duell
Sparrow and C. Dee Sparrow. Today,
it continues with Richard Sparrow as
president and general manager; James
Sparrow as vice-president; Deanna
Sparrow Kleyn as secretary-treasurer.
“We pride ourselves as one of the
few truly family furniture stores,” Dee
Sparrow says. “We offer a homey,
personal approach to our customers
where you are treated as our guest and
not just a number.”
The first store was limited to appliances
and electronics, but was moved to larger
quarters in 1960 to include furniture
and carpeting. In 1970, C. Dee Sparrow
assumed major responsibility for the
operation in conjunction with his wife and
family, and relocated to a smaller store.
The name was changed to Dee Sparrow
Showplace.
Business was so good that by 1978,
the business moved to a larger location,
a former restaurant. The business
continued to flourish, thanks largely to
the entire family working together.
In 1984, in conjunction with the city’s
construction of the Roy Marketplace
Shopping Center, Sparrows relocated
to its present location, in a store nearly
double in size, at 16,000 square feet.
With the newly-expanded store, the
name was changed to Sparrow’s Home
Furnishings. Billed as a “well-stocked
complete home furnishings store,” it
features attractive living room, family
room, bedroom, dining room furniture
and flooring displays. In addition, home
entertainment centers and Frigidaire
appliances were offered.
