About WG&R Furniture
Welcome to our local, employee-owned business that’s dedicated to serving your family. As Northeast Wisconsin’s largest furniture and mattress retailer we’re able to offer savings and service that the competition just can’t match. With stores in Green Bay, Appleton, Fond du Lac, Manitowoc, Oshkosh, and Sheboygan, we’re convenient too.
You won’t find a better selection of name brand furniture anywhere. From Ashley to La-Z-Boy and Canadel to Bassett you’ll find it all here and all at the guaranteed lowest price! Whether it’s a new sofa to help you relax after a long day, a dining table to gather around with family and friends or new bedroom furniture, we have the largest selection of styles and designs to meet any budget.
Today, the WG&R family has grown to include more styles and more value within our WG&R Sleep Shops, WG&R Clearance Centers, and August Haven showrooms.
We appreciate your business and are always here to serve our local communities.
Our Local History
WG&R Furniture first opened its doors with the slogan “A mile from downtown, ’tis true, but a mile from high prices too!” The original owners (Henry Wagnitz, Paul Greene, Carl Greene and Henry Rupp) founded the company on one core principle; we take care of our customers. While styles have changed over the years, WG&R has shown innovative ways to consistently deliver on this principle with more stores, better-valued products, Factory-Direct mattresses and customer service like no other.
1946 We first opened our doors on Main Street in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
1955 The Greene family bought out the other partners and continued the young company’s tradition of excellent customer service, great value and personal attention that became the foundation for future growth and success.
1963 WG&R opened in Oshkosh, along with a 45,000 square foot warehouse in Green Bay to better service our customers and pave the way for expansion.
1972 We expanded to Manitowoc and relocated our Oshkosh store, continuing our efforts to better serve Northeast Wisconsin.
1984 Answering customer demand for value-priced, quality mattresses, the WG&R Mattress Factory was born in Two Rivers, WI.
1989 WG&R opened a new store in Appleton and we moved our corporate office and warehouse to a new facility in Green Bay.
1992 We moved our Green Bay store from its long time Main St. location to our current Hansen Rd. location. During the mid 90s we also opened new stores in Manitowoc and Oshkosh.
2002 WG&R Sheboygan opened.
2006 WG&R Sleep Shop, a mattress specialty store, opened within all WG&R Furniture locations as well as stand alone locations in Green Bay and Fond du Lac.
