Pummel's began on Lakeland Blvd. in 1954 selling TV & Appliances. They moved quickly to Willo Plaza Shopping Center in Willoughby for a brief stay where they took on a few lines of furniture. Eva & Lester Pummel soon expanded to the present building at 8666 Mentor Ave. in the early 1960's where it serves as a landmark in the heart of old Mentor, providing fine Home Furnishings & Accessories to the surrounding communities.

Roberta Fulton, present owner and daughter of Eva & Lester, worked for her parents for 16 years before purchasing the business. Pummel's has grown with the times and even beyond their greatest expectations. They feel that the key to the store's success is due to Pummel's history of excellent customer service, quality lines, and competitive prices.

Roberta, an ASID member, and her professional design staff take pride in providing their customers with the highest quality of home furnishings unique to our area. Finding unique pieces which set them apart requires Spring & Fall buying trips to various furniture markets from High Point, NC to San Francisco. For many families Pummel's has become a tradition, even through 2nd & 3rd generations. A commonly asked question is, why don't we expand and go to a larger facility or a second location? Roberta feels that doing so would compromise the personal touch on which the business was built, and bigger is not always better.

As with any business, in order to succeed, you need to do what you love and love what you do - and that's exactly what we do - we love every aspect of the ever changing furniture industry.
