SOUTH FLORIDA BRANCH In November of 1951, James C. Baber, Jr. was offered the chance to buy the Badcock store in West Palm Beach under his own Corporate name, Badcock s Economy Furniture Store, Inc. And thus, the Badcock South Florida branch was born! Despite their independent operations, both the companies use the trade name of Badcock Home Furniture & More . Due to back to back hurricanes in 2004, the South Florida Corporate headquarters was destroyed in West Palm Beach and moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The Company has since then grown to 11 retail stores, a distribution center in Pompano and employs over 200 people throughout South Florida.
