Family-owned Art Van Furniture ought to be family friendly. The firm -- Michigan's #1 furniture seller -- offers medium-priced home furniture in some 30 Michigan stores. The chain has undergone a renovation, adding more upscale furniture (it sells Sealy, Simmons, and Broyhill brands) and perks such as children's play areas. The company is known for its aggressive sales and service. (Employees have been known to greet patrons carside with umbrellas on rainy days.) Chairman and CEO Art Van Elslander, who has 10 children (some active in the business), founded the firm with an East Detroit store in 1959. Upscale-furniture retailer Scott Shuptrine, purchased by Art Van in 1986, closed its three stores in 2002.
