BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo is losing a fifth-generation family business.
Scherer’s Furniture, located at 124 E Genesee St., is permanently closing, as co-owners and father and son Fred and Jim Scherer plan to retire, according to a news release. The furniture business will start liquidating its four-story showroom Jan. 18.
Jim Scherer’s great-grandfather, Frederick, started the business in 1897 one block away from its current location. The business moved to 124 Genesee St. during the Great Depression in the mid-1930s as it outgrew its space and has been there ever since.
