Big Sandy Superstore is a home furnishings "superstore" carrying the very best in appliances, electronics, furniture, mattresses and home décor. We are three generations strong, founded in 1953 by Robert W. VanHoose Sr., who was fresh out of the Air Force at the time. With a $1000 loan from his wife, Lorna, in hand he opened his first store. Mr. VanHoose operated his business under a very basic principle: giving customers the best possible value for the money spent and, if there was ever a problem, following the Golden Rule. This simple formula has stood the test of time as Big Sandy has grown and is led today by his son, CEO Robert W. VanHoose Jr. and his two sons, Trey and Stephen.
