Jerome’s Furniture was founded in 1954 by Jim & Esther Navarra, and is still owned and operated by the Navarra family. The 600 employee company features six Navarra family members, three of whom are 3rd generation retailers. Jerry and Ann Navarra joined the business in the early 1970’s and oversaw the opening in 1979 of their first satellite store in San Marcos. Over the next 10 years, new Jerome’s locations were added in Chula Vista, El Cajon and Scripps Ranch. In 2000, the original store in downtown San Diego was replaced with a large format unit on Morena Boulevard. In 2005, the company streamlined its operations by opening a 450,000 square foot distribution center. In February 2010, the company opened its sixth showroom in Murrieta, CA followed by showrooms and Corona, CA and Rancho Cucamonga, CA. In recent years, Jerome's has expanded further into Los Angeles County and Orange County with showrooms in Torrance, Anaheim, Laguna Beach, and Fountain Valley.
