Van
Dyk Furnishers established itself in February 1974 when Joe
& Ali Van Dyk purchased the existing business of Rex Mora
Furnishers, trading out of what is now the United Video
store in Princes Street, Putaruru, with a total staff of
three.
Isles & Burgess, the only other furnishing store in town, closed its doors in 1975. The company purchased the building in Duke Street (currently occupied by Low Bucks, Van Dyks' discount and second-hand goods store), and relocated and expanded its furniture department.
Through
the early 1980s the company introduced Mobile Curtain and
Carpet Showcase vans to the South Waikato, and added a third
store in Duke Street to expand the floor covering division.
On 1 April 1986 the three brothers, Henry, John and
Leighton, purchased the business from their
parents.
Continued expansion of the company required more floor space or additional outlets in surrounding towns. The chosen strategy was to develop the most modern and largest furnishing showroom outside of the main centres.
In 1988 the company commenced negotiations to purchase the former Elders Pastoral building which had remained vacant for some time. Once the site was secured, the adjoining properties were also purchased for future expansion. After an extensive refit, Stage I of the complex opened in March 1989 for the floor covering and textile divisions.
Stage II of
the complex was constructed during 1990 after the company
purchased the electrical appliance business of Ian Rolls
Ltd, which had a trading history of 35 years.
During the
early 1990s the company consolidated its position as the
leading furnishing and appliance store in the South Waikato
and commenced planning for the third and largest stage of
the development – a 15000 square foot extension which
would double the total floor area.
October 26 1994 was the
official opening of the final stage of the complex by Mayor
Gordon Blake, a day that will be etched in the company's
history forever. Hundreds of people from near and far had
turned up to help celebrate the occasion, and what an
occasion it was.
"Forty years marks a special occasion
for our family our loyal employees and our customers" says
Daniel Van Dyk. "It's a challenge to compete with National
Chains in the markets we serve and we are extremely grateful
for the continued support from our local
communities.
