Furniture from the Future?

[Mr. Analog]

Does anybody else find it weird that Futureshop sells furniture?

Are they Sears now?

If you own large show room space and sell things mostly in boxes that can be purchases sight unseen via Amazon for less, you need to diversify.

If you have a show room you better have stuff that people are willing to go out and touch / see.

So true, I mean they've had big appliances there for a long time now I guess it was a logical slide.

What surprises me is how some of the contents of the stores have generally shifted. Some stuff hasn't really changed: car audio, AV gear (tvs, receivers, etc). Their music and video stock is tiny now, replaced with mobile accessories. Laptops, printers and tablets seem to have expanded a lot taking up a good 1/5 of the floor space.
