HOME IS WHO WE ARE
FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS
Whitakers Furniture was started by my grandfather, James D. Whitaker, in the late 1950s in North Platte, Nebraska. After working in the funeral and furniture industry in North Platte, he got courageous and opened Whitakers in North Platte.
In 1959, Bill Whitaker came and worked with his parents James and Kathleen at the store in North Platte. Bill’s brother, Jim, came back in the 1960s after graduating law school and joined the family business.
In 1966, the trio (father and sons) opened Whitakers of McCook together. In 1967, Bill Whitaker bought out his dad and brothers' shares and became the sole owner of Whitakers of McCook!
In 1981, Jeff and Mark Whitaker (2 of Bill Whitaker's 3 children) came to McCook and worked with their father in the furniture business. Together, the 3 of them built a furniture and flooring store in McCook, NE that is known for great products and even better customer service. Bill laid the foundation and set a high standard for quality products and an excellent work ethic. Bill came to work almost every day until his health declined and he was no longer able to make daily visits to Whitakers in late 2020. Mark and Jeff took over all of the daily operations and continued after Bill passed away on June 13, 2021. Mark Whitaker retired on July 1, 2021.
Jeff wanted to continue to work and did not want to close the business, so a friend of Whitakers, Terri Gray, bought out Mark’s portion of the business and became partners with Jeff Whitaker. Jeff and Terri work to make Whitakers better each day! Whitakers has an awesome team who worked through a remodel while remaining open and continue to make Whitakers a friendly place of business that customers love to come to and shop! Whitakers always offers FREE DELIVERY. Items on the floor are available for immediate sale! We are working to have new and exciting items in stock available for delivery and will also always provide Special Order options!
