Furnish Office and Home is a nonprofit furniture retailer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, offering a rotating mix of used and new office and home furnishings. The store provides substantial savings, with prices up to 80% off, serving cost-conscious buyers such as startups. It operates as an employment training program under Project for Pride in Living, with on-site trainee staff contributing to daily operations, and it began in 1988 as a paid job training initiative before adopting the Furnish name in 2010. The training lasts about six months and emphasizes attendance, teamwork, and a strong work ethic, with graduates receiving job-placement assistance. Inventory comes from donated merchandise and purchases of closeouts, returns, and overstock, and the operation notes environmental benefits by keeping furnishings in use rather than entering landfills.
