When Gabe Goldberg opened Majestic Furniture in 1924, he had no idea it would be passed through four generations of his family to become a Modesto tradition. The first pieces of furniture sold by Gabe, and his step-son Fred, were from the local hotels that they had refurnished.

They soon realized that there was a real market for used furniture. The early Majestic store on 10th street also sold everything from refurbished appliances to lanterns to dining sets. Over the years it evolved from selling modest furniture and household goods, to the better quality products that are featured today.

The current owner of Majestic is Gabe's great-grandson, Mark Cushway. With the vision of his father, Stan Cushway, the store has grown to aproximately 30,000 square feet of showroom space and 11,000 square feet of warehouse.
