Stepping into Simply Home by Lindy’s Furniture feels less like entering a store and more like arriving at the home of an old friend. For over 100 years, the Hudson family has welcomed customers with the same care, sincerity, and commitment to quality that has been their hallmark since 1917. Now, with their Simply Home location inside Hickory Furniture Mart, this fourth-generational family business continues to blend time-honored values together with a thoughtfully curated selection of home furnishings, all at an affordable price point.
Founded on History, Built for Today
The Hudson family’s journey began in the foothills of North Carolina, where founder Jones Edney (JE) Hudson and his nephew Fred opened their first general store. Over the years, their business slowly evolved from selling groceries and farm equipment to becoming a trusted name in offering the best selection of furniture within the community. JE’s sons, Jones Edney Jr. (“Ed Jr.”) and Harry Lindy Hudson (“Lindy”), carried that vision a step further by establishing Lindy’s Furniture as a beloved local furniture destination.
In 2016, Lindy’s daughter, Katie Hudson-Purgason, continued to carry that family legacy forward with a new vision – dedicated showrooms designed to make every guest feel instantly at home. Thus, Simply Home by Lindy’s Furniture was born. In just a few short years, Simply Home has grown threefold, a testament to its quality selections, affordable pricing, and repeat customers. Katie’s philosophy is simple: treat every customer like family, offer exceptional value, and create an experience worth returning for. Along with Katie, her siblings Lindy, Cessy, and Julie are also actively involved in the Hudson family’s multiple store locations, working together to keep their family’s legacy strong.
A Collection for Every Room – and Every Style
Located on Level 4 at Hickory Furniture Mart, Simply Home by Lindy’s Furniture offers an expansive selection of wood and upholstered furniture, with many room layouts on display. From refined dining sets and comfortable sofas to tailored bedroom suites and versatile office furniture, each piece is chosen to balance quality craftsmanship with attainable pricing.
