Let's think about the furniture situation this way:
TV will have over 110K citizens very shortly. With the average household population at 1.87 (last census) per house that represents about 54K houses, villas.
Think about the town you came from up north. The average household size with kids etc is probably closer to 3.87 (guess). So if you had 54K houses how high is the population? The answer would be a town with over 200K people.
So if you had a town with 200K people who many furniture stores would there be to service that town?
There will always be a need for furniture stores regardless of who is running them. This is capitalism 101. If the business owner calculates a need and can provide the service they decide to locate there.
I see this furniture situation as nothing different.

You are right as usual Russ, but we old-er people come in and FURNISH the home as opposed to dib and dabs like we did younger and underfunded. Most of us move in, buy stuff we need and go out and play golf.
I think that the Morses, as usual, struck while the iron was hot, got most of the homes furnished with a nice couple of stores and have now decided to sell them to another company.
I am selfishly not personally worried about this. We just trotted over to Babbettes in Leesburg and got a nice new sleeper sofa and I am looking for a killer lamp like Swimdawg got at TJMaxx. If I can't find one, I may have to break into her home and steal hers..
Once the lamp is in this house, I am done with buying furniture.
