Established in 1998 with a Red F150 and his son Kolby buckled in the front seat delivering mattresses and furniture. UFD started as Universal Furniture & Mattress in storage lockers across the street from our current warehouse.. The concept was simple a great marketing system and great deals.. Selling mattresses and cherrywood dining room sets.. The business quickly evolved into many lines of furniture all with great deals .. The mantra ... cut out "The Middle Man" keep our overhead low and pass those savings along to the customer.. In 2002 we added hot tubs and sold 350 hot tubs a year all over New England.. They had great deals and the word spread.... In 2007 Universal purchased their 25,000 sq ft building, the business operates out of 1 side and the other side has been rented to the same tenent for the last 8 years. In 2007 UFD stumbled into the kitchen cabinet business applying
the same marketing and "cut out the middleman" strategy ... At that time UFD sold only 4 styles of cabinets.. Now its evolved to 6 brands and an unlimited selection.
