Buddy's Home Furnishings

Buddy Bi-Rite, known today as Buddy's Home Furnishings, was established in 1961 by Mr. Norman Slat Slatton, Sr. Selling used appliances from his home, Mr. Slatton had a dream that one day he would have an appliance store of his own where he could service the requirements of the growing Tampa area. A few year's later, Mr. Slatton's dreams were realized when he opened his 1st appliance showroom. Driven by an intense desire to succeed, Mr. Slatton built his business one satisfied client at a time, and soon the Buddy Bi-Rite name became synonymous with quality appliances, low prices, and old fashioned service.
