Big Sandy Superstore
Big Sandy Superstore is a regional furniture store chain with locations in West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. The company began in 1953 when Robert Van Hoose Sr. opened a shop in Ashland, Kentucky. Today it is one of the nation’s top 100 furniture retailers, with about 600 employees and 16 stores. Its headquarters are in Ashland, Kentucky, and its distribution center is in Wheelersburg, Ohio.
In 2004, Big Sandy bought the naming rights to the Huntington Civic Arena in Huntington, West Virginia, renaming it the Big Sandy Superstore Arena. In 2019, Mountain Health Network bought the naming rights, and it is now called the Mountain Health Arena.
Big Sandy Superstore is privately held. In 2020, the company expanded beyond its core area, opening stores in Evansville and Mishawaka, Indiana; Cadillac, Gaylord, Midland, Mt. Pleasant, and Owosso in Michigan; and Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
