Letter to Customers:

Oskar Huber Furniture was started in 1927 and served its surrounding communities with quality home furnishings and services for 81 years. Through an aggressive expansion plan over, predominantly, the last 8 of these years and subsequent merger; we grew to 9 store locations. Unfortunately, in the last year we were unable to overcome the effects of a severe housing downturn, credit tightening and slowing economy and we filed for Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy in September 2008.

Since this difficult time, we have made every effort to insure that customers who, at the time of the filing, still wanted their pending furniture orders received them; and that those who had deposits for orders which were not received were given the opportunity to file a claim with the court.

Shortly after the bankruptcy filing, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the debtors to engage a liquidation company to conduct a liquidation sale of the combined inventory of DD Huber Furniture & Design and Oskar Huber Furniture & Design. The liquidation company supplemented our remaining inventory with its own merchandise and also used our employees who worked with their veteran staff. All transactions with the liquidator and the sale at the stores were authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

The intent of Chapter 11 bankruptcy is to provide the filing company with the opportunity to reorganize if the circumstances permit and now that the liquidation sale is complete, the Huber family would very much like to reopen in the 2 stores where we have had a market presence for more than 40 years - Southampton, PA and Long Beach Island, NJ. We have received many positive comments from customers and suppliers who would like us to reopen and would like to do business with us again.

Please check back for additional information. We welcome your comments so please email us at comments@oskarhuber.com. Thank you for your patronage over the last 81 years.
