El Dorado Furniture has teamed up with non-profit organizations
and local media to donate new furniture to 45 families in need. The
company celebrates its 45th anniversary this June. This community
effort is to show its appreciation for South Florida’s many years
of support. The “45 Years, 45 Families” program starts March 15 and
ends June 27.
The 45 families will be selected by the non-profit organizations
and El Dorado Furniture will provide over a quarter of a million
dollars in new furniture, interior design service, delivery, and
set up. Pedro Capó, Vice President of Operations for the company,
said, “This is a great way to celebrate our anniversary. We are
very grateful to our community.” More information is available
online at www.45years45families.com. The website will be updated
with photos and videos as they visit each home.
This is not the first time El Dorado Furniture celebrates an
anniversary with contributions to the community. In 2007 it
celebrated its 40th anniversary with a similar program, “40 Years,
40 Families.”
On June 27, 1967, the Capó family opened the first El Dorado
Furniture in Miami. The furniture store remains a family-owned
company three generations in. There are twelve stores within Dade,
Broward, and Palm Beach Counties and it is ranked among the top 50
furniture retailers in the country. In 2010, the family patriarch
and El Dorado Furniture founder, Manuel Capó was inducted into the
American Furniture Hall of Fame. The company is known for its
boulevard showroom concept, a truly unique furniture shopping
experience.
