DULUTH, Minn. — Schneiderman's Furniture is closing its onetime flagship store in Meadowlands, Minn., the town about 45 miles northwest of Duluth where the retailer got its start in 1948, according to a report in the Duluth News Tribune.

"From a business standpoint, it made sense to close the store," President Larry Schneiderman told the newspaper. "We've needed to do so for three or four years now, but put it off because it was a tough decision."

Schneiderman's came to Duluth in 1982 and now also has stores in Plymouth, Lakeville, Roseville and Woodbury, Minn., with an outlet and distribution center in Burnsville, Minn.
