Ricks Furniture Company was founded in 1947 by Philip A and Leota Ricks in downtown Del Rio, Texas. While serving in the Army Air Corp during World War II, he became a pilot and was stationed at what is now Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio. There he met and married Leota Petty.

After the war, they returned to Del Rio and in 1947 Ricks Furniture Company was started. In 1968 Ricks constructed a new building on Ave F and Tenth Street to better serve our customers with an expanded selection of brand names such as Thomasville, La-Z-Boy, Broyhill, Sealy Posturepedic, Kincaid, Lexington, Lane and many more.

In 1980 Ricks expanded to Kerrville, Texas. Ricks was very excited to be in the Hill Country and Phyllis Ricks moved to Kerrville to manage this location.

Ricks has just recently completed remodeling and expanding both locations to better serve our customers. The Del Rio location expanded to approximately 30,000 square feet in 1997 and had interior designer, Hubbard King, complete the interior. Mr King had previously designed the Kerrville location.

In 1997 Kerrville added the Hill Country's only La-Z-Boy Gallery featuring the complete line of quality home furnishings to compliment the existing Solid Wood Gallery by Kincaid (a La-Z-Boy Company). In 1999 a "Rooms For You" Gallery was added.

Lonnie Ricks in Del Rio along with Leota Ricks, Phyllis Ricks and son John Philip Skrumeda in Kerrville feel that our commitment to value is just as important today as it was in 1947. For over 50 years our commitment to offer our customers the best selection at guaranteed lowest prices has not changed.
