PMD Furniture Direct Switches to Franchising
Editor's Note: This article turned from a small news clipping with a few comments to hundreds of comments that are marginally related to the original posting. As such, I have moved it from a short-term news blog to a public forum discussion on PMD Furniture Direct..News stories come and go but forums are long-term discussions and debates on topics anchored around a specific company or issue. I would remind posters that this is a site that shares information to help readers make better informed business investments. It's not enough to say don't invest in this brand. The reader will naturally want to know from front-line operators where in this sector will make them the best returns on their investment. One last point: The Blue MauMau culture is one of civility. Readers like to focus on business issues, rather than individuals or personal issues.

Wow, invest $50K-100K and NET profit the first year is $269K!
Hosking [PMD Furniture Direct's CEO] added that PMD should stand out as a lucrative option when it joins the ranks of franchisors. He contended that franchisees of a national sub sandwich company have to invest $300,000 to $400,000 and make less than $100,000 in annual net profit, citing a PMD attorney who previously worked with the chain.
Some of PMD's current licensees, including startups, do much better. He said the company's top rookie last year was a Pacific Northwest dealer who made $269,000 net profit on an initial investment between $50,000 and $100,000. - Furniture Today
This is the best deal EVER! I wanna buy a franchise NOW! Where do I wire the money? If I wire $100K for 2 franchises, will I make $538,000 my first year?
Yet why are they losing so many licensees?
But with financial markets in turmoil, PMD's total network sales are down because it hasn't been able to replace the 20% to 25% of dealers it loses annually to attrition.

Blood may not be thicker than PMD
Is it true that Mitch L is still drinking the PMD Cool-Aid but his sister Cindy C. is part of the group suing PMD? Now that must make for an interesting family reunion. I'm sure Mitch will pray about it. (hint to Mitch: confesion is good for the soul; but only if you really are repentant. Examine your concience boy!) Don't take communion again until you rid your soul of your role in all this tradegy.
The Truth Is In The Numbers
400+ dealers that didn't make it after an extensive screening process and lots of training in a "proven" system. How many are left now? Could it be that the system doesn't work? Have you ever heard of an organization where virtually ALL the historic top performers are suing the parent company? My god, what fools we all were. So much pain. So much lost. So many shattered dreams.
PMD Franchisee
"Amazing... after many years in the retail world at the store and district management level with national chains, I’m doing for myself what I did for others much too long! Cautious by nature, I have to say that PMD came through and provided me with everything I needed to be successful in my own business, freedom to control my daily life, and best of all financial rewards tied to my individual efforts. My first year I made considerably more income than I ever had working for someone else, and I owned my time! A simple program with company support that really works! Thanks PMD, I am now in control of my future!"
Bryan Rackley
This is the testimonial from Bryan when he signed the Franchisee agreement. Has anyone heard from Bryan recently? How's his business? Growing, Ready for Launch,, Making it Great Everyday, Record Sales?
i wish if PMD wanted to post positive statements they would at least be truthful. Testimpnials at PMD have a life of about six months or so.
What is Bryan's future?
PMD Franchisee
"Before becoming my own boss I was fearful of owning my own business and leaving the comfort and stability of the corporate world. Now I love what I do and I’ve got the ability to control my own life. I have more freedom and time to spend with my family. The financial up-front costs and the estimated return rates with PMD were far better than that of other brands and business opportunities. If you follow the PMD model and processes, you’ll be financially successful."
PMD has nerve
Read in the article that PMD is suing the lead attorney in the lawsuits outstanding. They will do anything to try an lie their way out of the legal quagmire they now find themselves in. It is not very often a lawyer sues another lawyer and the courts will see through PMD's attempt to undermine the legal counsel defending CSA , the dealer associatio and the other suits to follow.
Here are some telling facts:
PMD needs to have ABSOLUTE proof that document charges.
PMD had another lawyer, not exactly an expert, file the suit. What happen to the in house counsel or the powerhouse of Elliot and Cooper?
Beyond a shadow of a doubt PMD is trying to impact the oustanding legal cases that threaten to expose the frudulent activities that they have perpetuated for over 10 years.
PMD has proven that it will do and say anything to justify their actions.
The amount of witnesses ready willing and able to testify against PMD is so voluminous and the documents and facts are so documented the Dealer Assocoation and any one involved need not worry about frivolious defamation and damage charges by PMD.
PMD will continue to claim everyone else is wrong and that their opportunity is everything they ever claimed it was. How long does it take to question 400 ex dealers?
PMD Franchisee
"I was looking for a business that had affordable up front costs, that was recession-proof, and that would grow. PMD had all of that as well as an excellent training program. They provided coaches and field advisors that helped me get off to the right start. Now I have the control and flexibility to live a successful and fulfilling life."
Word on the street
PMD trying to put a positive spin on all the problems but everyone knows you can't believe Jeff and Joe. Franchisees are starting to realize they have been duped and they don't like it. Sorry guys Jeff got you to sign away all rights to sue them. Now you know why.
Make it a great day..............coyote power! Make it a great day.......Buy Direct!
The Dealer Association has the proof and the documents to win the suit. That will make it a great day!
Spin?
The only spin on this site is the lies being spread about PMD Furniture Direct. The only cheaters are the dealers who have violated their agreements by contacting PMD vendors directly. Get to work or get out of business. You sound like you would make a good government employee. Why don't you ask Obama for a job?
re: Spin?
Gee BOOTS what would compel A Dealer Assoc. and 400 ex. dealers to spread lies? Maybe your fraudulent past is catching up with you?
This site depicts the reality of PMD.
PMD management clearly STILL doesn't get it
See? All PMD Furniture Direct management can do is put people down whom they've lied to and cheated money from. These guys have the thickest freakin' skulls and numbest hangin' walnuts.
Franchisee
I want to say thank you to the home office staff of PMD Furniture Direct. They have always helped me deal with the challenges of this business. I’m glad I don’t have to deal with me at times, sorry about that, but thank you!
What caused the down fall of PMD?
Attrition, mark up, dishonest business practices regarding income potential and recruiting.
Actually, you can some it up
Actually, you can some it up in just 2 words, Joe Armetta. He is the root of the evil in PMD. Everything started going downhill after he took over. Wow, guess that was a bad decision, huh Jeff?

Charles Cadrecha finished in 2nd place and Doug Krinsky finished in 3rd place.

There have been times, in this business that I thought I just couldn’t work any harder. Then I thought of Brad Loy and how hard worked to but up the huge numbers that he did, all by himself. I had no business complaining about what I was doing. Brad, I really appreciate the example that you set for me and everyone else in the company.

PMD is way overpriced for bad product
I'm getting Serta mattresses direct from Serta for less than I was getting Corsicana for from PMD. That's right, less than a Winslow! And I get rebates and marketing materials and big discounts on floor samples. Do you think it's easier getting $399 for a 9" Serta or a 9" Corsicana? Business is definitely better without PMD Furniture Direct.
What does Jeff think is
What does Jeff think is Negative?
The Franchise move because it was better for the dealers?
The reaction by key dealers to say it was a ridiculous Franchise Agreement?
Monster and CareerBuilder’s saying that PMD was dishonest?
The Attorney General of Illinois saying PMD was selling illegal Franchises?
The Misrepresentation by PMD recruiters and managers?
The scripts that Jeff and Joe created and embellished to misrepresent the opportunity?
The disappearance of Rob Swan lately?
The dealer suit that claims PMD just may not be the opportunity they say it is?
The ex dealers who know it’s not what they say it is?
The lawsuit outlined in the FDD that Jeff said would go away?
The Furniture Today realization that PMD lied all these years and is a Fraud?
The investigative report by BMM as PMD posts positive comments about the opportunity?
The legal team that provided PMD the platform to continue their charade now thinks he’s in trouble?
The suit against the associations counsel as if they were making everything up just to make noise?
The failure of PMD to prove that the claims against them are not true.
The lack of confidence that Jeff knows what he is currently doing or can save the others from this Fraud?
The threat of Jeff suing everyone that doesn’t accept his view of the PMD world?
Jerry telling the dealers that Jeff and Joe wanted to retaliate against them for not signing?
Mitch claiming that “so what if PMD lied, you can still make money ” If not they will sue you!
Managers taping telephone conversation without notifying the dealers
The CMO telling you that the Franchise move was the American Dream?
The realization that this “PMD Coyote” is seriously wounded and no longer thriving?
That Furniture Today might recall that Retailer of the Year trophy?
Income claims
PMD has a scripted recruiting tool that claims the AVERAGE PMD DEALER makes $100k NET INCOME. They advertise on their website and company recruiting brochures and claim more experienced dealers make 3x and 4X that amount.
In the FT article today they state: PMD never makes promises that every licensed dealer will earn a certain income." AVERAGE DEALER NET INCOME OF 100K seems pretty certain to me.
PMD has never, let me say Never hired a candidate for the Compnay owned stores that they advertised. Jeff, Joe and Jerry have instructed everyone at PMD to be honest but ran ads knowing they were lying.
Jeff looking forward to reading his weekly copy of Furniture Today. He reads it every week cover to cover.
Negative Posts
In recent depositions Jeff Hosking used the words: Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah to answer questions about what someone said or what he believed they said. Could Blah, Blah, Blah,Blah be a signature?
BMM, Numerous lawsuits, Investiagtive articles, Furnture Today articles to come and 23 key dealers saying you lied. Jeff why not call the Franchisees and tell them not to listen to the noise.
Negative Negative Negative - Blah Blah Blah
It seems that the only thing that can be posted is a negative remark, so I thought that I'd just indulge and post as negative as well. Since there has been so much negative that has been spewed over and over, I thought it would be refreshing to get some new negative remarks that make as much sense as the previous material... Of course, amongst the Negative, its necessary to read between the lines.

PMD management conscience is a lost cause
PMD management obviously doesn't get it. They think everyone else is negative. Everyone else is just making noise. They need to look squarely in the mirror. What do you think they see? Probably nothing. They can't even see the many wrongs they have done to other people. And they have the nerve to mock them for harboring negative feelings about the trap they set. People like them will never see the truth about what they have done in the mirror. People like PMD Furniture Direct management will always get what they deserve in the end. And they will never see their true selves in the mirror. They think they're above other people, above the law, and above what's right and wrong.
PMD is NOT a scam and has
PMD is NOT a scam and has provided each and every dealer the chance to put the same amount of money in their pocket as you and I. If they would just get the negativity out of their heads money would be flowing. PMD has offered all of us the training and support needed to make a successful future for ourselves and our families.
How can so many ex-dealers he so disrespectful to a company that helped them make a lot of money and provide them with wonderful trips and bonuses year after year.
This just proves that there are only a few dealers posting all the negative comments.
*****Call a Franchisee directly for the real story*****
Actually, I know a couple of
Actually, I know a couple of dealers (or should I say ex-dealers) who made PMD tons of money and PMD disinvited them to the award trip that they had already earned. That's just 1 of millions of examples of the integrity, or shall I say lack of, that PMD has.

Top Dealers are part of the PMD Lawsuit
All of these dealers, except the Perrys and P. Woodberry are part of the Dealers Association and suing PMD for fraud and misrepresentation. Things can't be good when former members of your management team and your all-time top dealers are taking you to court. The Perrys have been out of business for a couple of years already. Yup, the same Perrys who were #2 in the company 2 or 3 years ago. They became part of the management team for awhile and dropped out of PMD not long after.

Dealers Association Files Lawsuit Against PMD Furniture Direct
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Associated Licensees of PMD, LLC has filed a lawsuit against Power Marketing Direct, Inc. (PMD) and four of its top executives alleging they perpetrated fraud in their business operations and through a “bait and switch” tactic to recruit dealers. But the litigation doesn’t stop there. Also named is its newly formed franchise entity PMD Furniture Direct, Inc. Illinois regulators notified the furniture company that the licenses that were sold may actually be franchises. According to the Federal Trade Commission’s franchise rule, and the state law, PMD cannot sell franchises without being registered. Out of compliance with the Federal Trade Commission rule, PMD changed its course from being a licensee/dealer operation to that of a business format franchise.

PMD Furniture Direct delivers Royal Heritage Home Furnishings and Royal Heritage Mattresses to thousands of satisfied customers every year and has been doing so for many years. PMD Furniture Direct, CEO Jeff Hosking and CMO Joe Armetta have always delivered for me through all my years as a dealer, a licensee and now a franchisee, without exception. They’ve done what they committed to do, and more, while I’ve done what I committed to do, sometimes more and probably sometimes less. The PMD opportunity has allowed my family to own its own business, make a great living and travel the world on Jeff’s dime all for just for doing what I agreed to do. I have no complaints nor do I believe that I have grounds for any complaints. I for one am very grateful for the opportunity and pleased with my decision to associate myself and my family with such a fine group of successful individuals.
PMD Furniture Direct Franchise –
Owning a PMD Furniture Direct Franchise is not for everyone. Just like everything in life and business, to be truly successful you must be happy with balance in your life. There are many successful people in this business who appreciate the opportunity that provides them with a great income, job satisfaction, generous rewards and a flexible lifestyle. There are also people who found that it just wasn’t right for them or maybe they should have never gone into business for themselves in the first place. Running any business requires a certain skill set and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done so do your research, gather all the facts from credible sources and make a sound business decision based on you and your findings.

From a current dealer
Thank you for including us on the All-American Trip to San Francisco. The excursion to Alcatraz and the trip to the wine country were fabulous. I’ve always wanted to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery but have never taken the time. Opus One was educational and is producing some of the best reds we’ve ever tasted. The meals were fantastic. Thanks for a world class trip. Thank you, Jeff Hosking.

Profitable again
I just wanted to let you know we just finished our taxes and for the 4th year in a row we have increased our net profit. We are in the process of renegotiating our lease and with the reduction in our expenses, even if we do the same volume and gross profit, we will make more money this year than last. However we plan to have our 5th year in a row in which we increase our profitability. This opportunity is truly the American Dream we were looking for!
Commts received from our cutomers
“I want to thank you for the deal you did for us on the queen mattress set. My first night I slept better than I have in years. I will gladly give out the business cards you gave me and will refer all my family and friends to your store. I will be back in about a month because I want that bedroom set for our room. Thank you again.”
“My dining room looked beautiful for Thanksgiving and my whole family was there to share it with me. Thank you so much for the deal you gave us. I know there is no way I could have afforded this set if not for you. Thank you again and I will send my son to you for his mattress. Please give him a deal like you gave me.”
“The sofa sets we got from you for our Cigar shop have been a big hit with our customers. We would like to add a few chairs if you can still give us the deal you offered last week.”
“My mom loved the mattress you sold us, and wants to know if they have a warehouse like yours in South Carolina. She wants a Royal Heritage pillowtop for her room at home too.”

“We had more players than our inaugural event last fall and we were very pleased with the turnout,” said co-host Doug Krinsky.

PMD Management must be out of freebies
With their bottom line way down, it looks like PMD management doesn't have any vendors to foot the bill for a weekend excursion. They have lots of time to take cheap shots and to cover up the truth, though. Unfortunately, since I'm trying to push their overpriced product line, I have the time to check on their untruthful posts. Many PMD Furniture dealers are well educated, well spoken and can spell quite well. Any typos in this post, Joe?

PMD Furniture Direct, CEO Jeff Hosking and CMO Joe Armetta have always delivered for me through all my years as a dealer, a licensee and now a franchisee, without exception. They’ve done what they committed to do, and more, while I’ve done what I committed to do, sometimes more and probably sometimes less. The PMD opportunity has allowed my family to own its own business, make a great living and travel the world on Jeff’s dime all for just for doing what I agreed to do. I have no complaints nor do I believe that I have grounds for any complaints. I for one am very grateful for the opportunity and pleased with my decision to associate myself and my family with such a fine group of successful individuals.
PMD Furniture Direct Franchise –
Owning a PMD Furniture Direct Franchise is not for everyone. Just like everything in life and business, to be truly successful you must be happy with balance in your life. There are many successful people in this business who appreciate the opportunity that provides them with a great income, job satisfaction, generous rewards and a flexible lifestyle. There are also people who found that it just wasn’t right for them or maybe they should have never gone into business for themselves in the first place. Running any business requires a certain skill set and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done so do your research, gather all the facts from credible sources and make a sound business decision based on you and your findings.

From a current dealer
Thank you for including us on the All-American Trip to San Francisco. The excursion to Alcatraz and the trip to the wine country were fabulous. I’ve always wanted to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery but have never taken the time. Opus One was educational and is producing some of the best reds we’ve ever tasted. The meals were fantastic. Thanks for a world class trip. Thank you, Jeff Hosking.

Profitable again
I just wanted to let you know we just finished our taxes and for the 4th year in a row we have increased our net profit. We are in the process of renegotiating our lease and with the reduction in our expenses, even if we do the same volume and gross profit, we will make more money this year than last. However we plan to have our 5th year in a row in which we increase our profitability. This opportunity is truly the American Dream we were looking for!
Commts received from our cutomers
“I want to thank you for the deal you did for us on the queen mattress set. My first night I slept better than I have in years. I will gladly give out the business cards you gave me and will refer all my family and friends to your store. I will be back in about a month because I want that bedroom set for our room. Thank you again.”
“My dining room looked beautiful for Thanksgiving and my whole family was there to share it with me. Thank you so much for the deal you gave us. I know there is no way I could have afforded this set if not for you. Thank you again and I will send my son to you for his mattress. Please give him a deal like you gave me.”
“The sofa sets we got from you for our Cigar shop have been a big hit with our customers. We would like to add a few chairs if you can still give us the deal you offered last week.”
“My mom loved the mattress you sold us, and wants to know if they have a warehouse like yours in South Carolina. She wants a Royal Heritage pillowtop for her room at home too.”

“We had more players than our inaugural event last fall and we were very pleased with the turnout,” said co-host Doug Krinsky. Scott Graham, Vice President of Operations of PMD Furniture Direct™, seller of Royal Heritage Home Furnishings™, was the Grand Champion this year and he graciously donated his winnings back to Autism Speaks, as did other top finishers. Charles Cadrecha finished in 2nd place and Doug Krinsky finished in 3rd place.
PMD Furniture Direct
PMD Furniture Direct™ co-hosted the 2nd Annual Ante4Autism event at the Las Vegas furniture market on February 9th, giving back in a huge way to Autism Speaks. By the end of the night, combined donations, entry fees, and corporate support totaled over $7,000!

PMD Management must be out of freebies
With their bottom line way down, it looks like PMD management doesn't have any vendors to foot the bill for a weekend excursion.

Unfortunately, since I'm trying to push their overpriced product line, I have the time to check on their untruthful posts.

From a current dealer
Thank you for including us on the All-American Trip to San Francisco. The excursion to Alcatraz and the trip to the wine country were fabulous. I’ve always wanted to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery but have never taken the time. Opus One was educational and is producing some of the best reds we’ve ever tasted. The meals were fantastic. Thanks for a world class trip. Thank you, Jeff Hosking.

Profitable again
I just wanted to let you know we just finished our taxes and for the 4th year in a row we have increased our net profit. We are in the process of renegotiating our lease and with the reduction in our expenses, even if we do the same volume and gross profit, we will make more money this year than last. However we plan to have our 5th year in a row in which we increase our profitability. This opportunity is truly the American Dream we were looking for!
Commts received from our cutomers
“I want to thank you for the deal you did for us on the queen mattress set. My first night I slept better than I have in years. I will gladly give out the business cards you gave me and will refer all my family and friends to your store. I will be back in about a month because I want that bedroom set for our room. Thank you again.”
“My dining room looked beautiful for Thanksgiving and my whole family was there to share it with me. Thank you so much for the deal you gave us. I know there is no way I could have afforded this set if not for you. Thank you again and I will send my son to you for his mattress. Please give him a deal like you gave me.”
“The sofa sets we got from you for our Cigar shop have been a big hit with our customers. We would like to add a few chairs if you can still give us the deal you offered last week.”
“My mom loved the mattress you sold us, and wants to know if they have a warehouse like yours in South Carolina. She wants a Royal Heritage pillowtop for her room at home too.”

“We had more players than our inaugural event last fall and we were very pleased with the turnout,” said co-host Doug Krinsky. Scott Graham, Vice President of Operations of PMD Furniture Direct™, seller of Royal Heritage Home Furnishings™, was the Grand Champion this year and he graciously donated his winnings back to Autism Speaks, as did other top finishers. Charles Cadrecha finished in 2nd place and Doug Krinsky finished in 3rd place.

6 Month Training Program
Your training will begin by completing a 6-month program under the direction of a highly trained PMD Furniture Direct Franchise Program Expert. In addition, your training will include your required attendance at a 3-day training seminar at our corporate headquarters, which will be directed by top executives at PMD Furniture Direct Inc.
PMD Management must be out of freebies
With their bottom line way down, it looks like PMD management doesn't have any vendors to foot the bill for a weekend excursion. They have lots of time to take cheap shots and to cover up the truth, though. Unfortunately, since I'm trying to push their overpriced product line, I have the time to check on their untruthful posts. Many PMD Furniture dealers are well educated, well spoken and can spell quite well. Any typos in this post, Joe?
PMD Furniture Direct delivers…
PMD Furniture Direct delivers Royal Heritage Home Furnishings and Royal Heritage Mattresses to thousands of satisfied customers every year and has been doing so for many years. PMD Furniture Direct, CEO Jeff Hosking and CMO Joe Armetta have always delivered for me through all my years as a dealer, a licensee and now a franchisee, without exception. They’ve done what they committed to do, and more, while I’ve done what I committed to do, sometimes more and probably sometimes less. The PMD opportunity has allowed my family to own its own business, make a great living and travel the world on Jeff’s dime all for just for doing what I agreed to do. I have no complaints nor do I believe that I have grounds for any complaints. I for one am very grateful for the opportunity and pleased with my decision to associate myself and my family with such a fine group of successful individuals.
PMD Furniture Direct Franchise –
Owning a PMD Furniture Direct Franchise is not for everyone. Just like everything in life and business, to be truly successful you must be happy with balance in your life. There are many successful people in this business who appreciate the opportunity that provides them with a great income, job satisfaction, generous rewards and a flexible lifestyle. There are also people who found that it just wasn’t right for them or maybe they should have never gone into business for themselves in the first place. Running any business requires a certain skill set and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done so do your research, gather all the facts from credible sources and make a sound business decision based on you and your findings.
SUPER Bonus!
“I received my Super Bonus after only three years. Jeff Hosking handed me a check for Ten Thousand Dollars at the National Sales meeting!!! Thank you Jeff, for the opportunity, and I’m looking forward to the next one!”

Locations – Image Is Everything!
While we are a retailer, our locations can be found in warehouses and commercial districts rather than high-rent retail outlets like our competition. While this keeps costs down, it also helps create a "wholesale" atmosphere that today's cost-conscious consumers are looking for.
Advertising – Keep It Simple!
PMD Furniture Direct™ advertising is simple, efficient and cost effective, producing exceptional results. PMD does not believe that millions of dollars in advertising budgets are necessarily required to generate millions of dollars in furniture sales.
Sales – Low Overhead, High Profit!
PMD Furniture Direct™ is an appointment-only business. Customers are pre-qualified before they are invited to an appointment. This means as a PMD Furniture Direct franchisee you have the freedom to truly set your own schedule like no other franchise opportunity you will come across.

PMD OPPORTUNITY
6 Month Training Program
Your training will begin by completing a 6-month program under the direction of a highly trained PMD Furniture Direct Franchise Program Expert. In addition, your training will include your required attendance at a 3-day training seminar at our corporate headquarters, which will be directed by top executives at PMD Furniture Direct Inc.
PMD Management must be out of freebies
With their bottom line way down, it looks like PMD management doesn't have any vendors to foot the bill for a weekend excursion. They have lots of time to take cheap shots and to cover up the truth, though. Unfortunately, since I'm trying to push their overpriced product line, I have the time to check on their untruthful posts. Many PMD Furniture dealers are well educated, well spoken and can spell quite well. Any typos in this post, Joe?
PMD Furniture Direct delivers…
PMD Furniture Direct delivers Royal Heritage Home Furnishings and Royal Heritage Mattresses to thousands of satisfied customers every year and has been doing so for many years. PMD Furniture Direct, CEO Jeff Hosking and CMO Joe Armetta have always delivered for me through all my years as a dealer, a licensee and now a franchisee, without exception. They’ve done what they committed to do, and more, while I’ve done what I committed to do, sometimes more and probably sometimes less. The PMD opportunity has allowed my family to own its own business, make a great living and travel the world on Jeff’s dime all for just for doing what I agreed to do. I have no complaints nor do I believe that I have grounds for any complaints. I for one am very grateful for the opportunity and pleased with my decision to associate myself and my family with such a fine group of successful individuals.
PMD Furniture Direct Franchise –
Owning a PMD Furniture Direct Franchise is not for everyone. Just like everything in life and business, to be truly successful you must be happy with balance in your life. There are many successful people in this business who appreciate the opportunity that provides them with a great income, job satisfaction, generous rewards and a flexible lifestyle. There are also people who found that it just wasn’t right for them or maybe they should have never gone into business for themselves in the first place. Running any business requires a certain skill set and willingness to do whatever it takes to get the job done so do your research, gather all the facts from credible sources and make a sound business decision based on you and your findings.
SUPER Bonus!
“I received my Super Bonus after only three years. Jeff Hosking handed me a check for Ten Thousand Dollars at the National Sales meeting!!! Thank you Jeff, for the opportunity, and I’m looking forward to the next one!”

How long is the development process to open a store?
Three to four weeks are needed for the discovery process. Once the franchise agreement is signed, the PMD Furniture Direct™ franchise store can be in business in as little as one week. Most franchisees are up and running within 4–6 weeks.
The PMD opportunity
During the current economic times, consumers are seeking value - quality furniture and bedding at lower prices. Today, PMD Furniture Direct™ is a strong brand in US home furnishings industry and carries a strong dedication to core principles such as honesty, integrity, commitment, loyalty, belief, hard work, personal responsibility and family values.

Locations – Image Is Everything!
While we are a retailer, our locations can be found in warehouses and commercial districts rather than high-rent retail outlets like our competition. While this keeps costs down, it also helps create a "wholesale" atmosphere that today's cost-conscious consumers are looking for.

PMD Furniture Direct™ advertising is simple, efficient and cost effective, producing exceptional results. PMD does not believe that millions of dollars in advertising budgets are necessarily required to generate millions of dollars in furniture sales.
Sales – Low Overhead, High Profit!
PMD Furniture Direct™ is an appointment-only business. Customers are pre-qualified before they are invited to an appointment. This means as a PMD Furniture Direct franchisee you have the freedom to truly set your own schedule like no other franchise opportunity you will come across.
Products – Deliver Value to the Customer!
Royal Heritage Home Furnishings™, the PMD Furniture Direct™ private label furniture line, includes products such as mattresses and specialty bedding, bedroom furniture, formal and casual dining furniture and living room furniture.

Conferences
Company hosted phone training seminars
One-on-one dealer training calls with a PMD Furniture Direct™ advisor
Field visits and secret shopper visits to your location.

From a current dealer
Thank you for including us on the All-American Trip to San Francisco. The excursion to Alcatraz and the trip to the wine country were fabulous. I’ve always wanted to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery but have never taken the time. Opus One was educational and is producing some of the best reds we’ve ever tasted. The meals were fantastic. Thanks for a world class trip. Thank you, Jeff Hosking.

Profitable again
I just wanted to let you know we just finished our taxes and for the 4th year in a row we have increased our net profit. We are in the process of renegotiating our lease and with the reduction in our expenses, even if we do the same volume and gross profit, we will make more money this year than last. However we plan to have our 5th year in a row in which we increase our profitability. This opportunity is truly the American Dream we were looking for!
Commts received from our cutomers
“I want to thank you for the deal you did for us on the queen mattress set. My first night I slept better than I have in years. I will gladly give out the business cards you gave me and will refer all my family and friends to your store. I will be back in about a month because I want that bedroom set for our room. Thank you again.”
“My dining room looked beautiful for Thanksgiving and my whole family was there to share it with me. Thank you so much for the deal you gave us. I know there is no way I could have afforded this set if not for you. Thank you again and I will send my son to you for his mattress. Please give him a deal like you gave me.”
“The sofa sets we got from you for our Cigar shop have been a big hit with our customers. We would like to add a few chairs if you can still give us the deal you offered last week.”
“My mom loved the mattress you sold us, and wants to know if they have a warehouse like yours in South Carolina. She wants a Royal Heritage pillowtop for her room at home too.”

How long is the development process to open a store?
Three to four weeks are needed for the discovery process. Once the franchise agreement is signed, the PMD Furniture Direct™ franchise store can be in business in as little as one week. Most franchisees are up and running within 4–6 weeks.
The PMD opportunity
During the current economic times, consumers are seeking value - quality furniture and bedding at lower prices. Today, PMD Furniture Direct™ is a strong brand in US home furnishings industry and carries a strong dedication to core principles such as honesty, integrity, commitment, loyalty, belief, hard work, personal responsibility and family values.
You do not need prior furniture experience to be a successful PMD Furniture Direct franchise owner. Through an extremely innovative and highly proprietary system, PMD teaches you how to drive qualified buyers directly to your location.
Locations – Image Is Everything!
While we are a retailer, our locations can be found in warehouses and commercial districts rather than high-rent retail outlets like our competition. While this keeps costs down, it also helps create a "wholesale" atmosphere that today's cost-conscious consumers are looking for.
Advertising – Keep It Simple!
PMD Furniture Direct™ advertising is simple, efficient and cost effective, producing exceptional results. PMD does not believe that millions of dollars in advertising budgets are necessarily required to generate millions of dollars in furniture sales.
Sales – Low Overhead, High Profit!
PMD Furniture Direct™ is an appointment-only business. Customers are pre-qualified before they are invited to an appointment. This means as a PMD Furniture Direct franchisee you have the freedom to truly set your own schedule like no other franchise opportunity you will come across.
Products – Deliver Value to the Customer!
Royal Heritage Home Furnishings™, the PMD Furniture Direct™ private label furniture line, includes products such as mattresses and specialty bedding, bedroom furniture, formal and casual dining furniture and living room furniture.
Training begins under the direction of a highly trained PMD Furniture Direct™ program expert. This includes:
Multiple three-day BASIC training seminars annually
Conferences
Company hosted phone training seminars
One-on-one dealer training calls with a PMD Furniture Direct™ advisor
Field visits and secret shopper visits to your location.
This systematic training process provides our new franchisees with the knowledge and the support needed to put them on the path to success. So regardless of your level of experience, as part of the PMD Furniture Direct™ family, you will receive the ongoing training and support needed to own and operate a successful business.
PMD Furniture Direct™ Mission:
The mission of PMD Furniture Direct, Inc. is to become one of the greatest franchise opportunities in the U.S. by delivering to our franchisees a fun, challenging and rewarding business that provides pride of ownership, an excellent quality of life and an outstanding income opportunity with relatively low risk and capital investment.
PMD Distribution Centers are your source for stylish and durable living room furniture, gorgeous bedroom furniture, comfortable mattresses, functional youth bedroom furniture, heirloom-quality dining room furniture and all the occasional pieces and accessory accents you need to tie your look together from Royal Heritage Home Furnishings®. Call your local PMD Distribution Center to enjoy prices 30-50% lower than traditional retailers without sacrificing quality, design or craftsmanship. Whether you’re looking to furnish a casual space for your family to relax and play games, or a formal dining room to entertain guests, you’ll find furniture you need at prices you want at your local PMD Distribution Center.
From a current dealer
Thank you for including us on the All-American Trip to San Francisco. The excursion to Alcatraz and the trip to the wine country were fabulous. I’ve always wanted to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery but have never taken the time. Opus One was educational and is producing some of the best reds we’ve ever tasted. The meals were fantastic. Thanks for a world class trip. Thank you, Jeff Hosking.

Profitable again
I just wanted to let you know we just finished our taxes and for the 4th year in a row we have increased our net profit. We are in the process of renegotiating our lease and with the reduction in our expenses, even if we do the same volume and gross profit, we will make more money this year than last. However we plan to have our 5th year in a row in which we increase our profitability. This opportunity is truly the American Dream we were looking for!
Commts received from our cutomers
“I want to thank you for the deal you did for us on the queen mattress set. My first night I slept better than I have in years. I will gladly give out the business cards you gave me and will refer all my family and friends to your store. I will be back in about a month because I want that bedroom set for our room. Thank you again.”
“My dining room looked beautiful for Thanksgiving and my whole family was there to share it with me. Thank you so much for the deal you gave us. I know there is no way I could have afforded this set if not for you. Thank you again and I will send my son to you for his mattress. Please give him a deal like you gave me.”
“The sofa sets we got from you for our Cigar shop have been a big hit with our customers. We would like to add a few chairs if you can still give us the deal you offered last week.”
“My mom loved the mattress you sold us, and wants to know if they have a warehouse like yours in South Carolina. She wants a Royal Heritage pillowtop for her room at home too.”

“We had more players than our inaugural event last fall and we were very pleased with the turnout,” said co-host Doug Krinsky. Scott Graham, Vice President of Operations of PMD Furniture Direct™, seller of Royal Heritage Home Furnishings™, was the Grand Champion this year and he graciously donated his winnings back to Autism Speaks, as did other top finishers. Charles Cadrecha finished in 2nd place and Doug Krinsky finished in 3rd place.
PMD Furniture Direct
PMD Furniture Direct™ co-hosted the 2nd Annual Ante4Autism event at the Las Vegas furniture market on February 9th, giving back in a huge way to Autism Speaks. By the end of the night, combined donations, entry fees, and corporate support totaled over $7,000!

PMD Management must be out of freebies
With their bottom line way down, it looks like PMD management doesn't have any vendors to foot the bill for a weekend excursion. They have lots of time to take cheap shots and to cover up the truth, though. Unfortunately, since I'm trying to push their overpriced product line, I have the time to check on their untruthful posts. Many PMD Furniture dealers are well educated, well spoken and can spell quite well. Any typos in this post, Joe?
PMD Furniture Direct delivers…
PMD Furniture Direct delivers Royal Heritage Home Furnishings and Royal Heritage Mattresses to thousands of satisfied customers every year and has been doing so for many years. PMD Furniture Direct, CEO Jeff Hosking and CMO Joe Armetta have always delivered for me through all my years as a dealer, a licensee and now a franchisee, without exception. They’ve done what they committed to do, and more, while I’ve done what I committed to do, sometimes more and probably sometimes less. The PMD opportunity has allowed my family to own its own business, make a great living and travel the world on Jeff’s dime all for just for doing what I agreed to do. I have no complaints nor do I believe that I have grounds for any complaints. I for one am very grateful for the opportunity and pleased with my decision to associate myself and my family with such a fine group of successful individuals.
PMD Furniture Direct Franchise –
Owning a PMD Furniture Direct Franchise is not for everyone. Just like everything in life and business, to be truly successful you must be happy with balance in your life.

Thank you for including us on the All-American Trip to San Francisco. The excursion to Alcatraz and the trip to the wine country were fabulous. I’ve always wanted to visit the Robert Mondavi Winery but have never taken the time. Opus One was educational and is producing some of the best reds we’ve ever tasted. The meals were fantastic. Thanks for a world class trip. Thank you, Jeff Hosking.

Profitable again
I just wanted to let you know we just finished our taxes and for the 4th year in a row we have increased our net profit. We are in the process of renegotiating our lease and with the reduction in our expenses, even if we do the same volume and gross profit, we will make more money this year than last. However we plan to have our 5th year in a row in which we increase our profitability. This opportunity is truly the American Dream we were looking for!
Commts received from our cutomers
“I want to thank you for the deal you did for us on the queen mattress set. My first night I slept better than I have in years. I will gladly give out the business cards you gave me and will refer all my family and friends to your store. I will be back in about a month because I want that bedroom set for our room. Thank you again.”
“My dining room looked beautiful for Thanksgiving and my whole family was there to share it with me. Thank you so much for the deal you gave us. I know there is no way I could have afforded this set if not for you. Thank you again and I will send my son to you for his mattress. Please give him a deal like you gave me.”
“The sofa sets we got from you for our Cigar shop have been a big hit with our customers. We would like to add a few chairs if you can still give us the deal you offered last week.”
“My mom loved the mattress you sold us, and wants to know if they have a warehouse like yours in South Carolina. She wants a Royal Heritage pillowtop for her room at home too.”
“We had more players than our inaugural event last fall...
“We had more players than our inaugural event last fall and we were very pleased with the turnout,” said co-host Doug Krinsky.

Charles Cadrecha finished in 2nd place and Doug Krinsky finished in 3rd place.

At PMD Furniture Direct,
We do business differently.......to keep prices low, we serve you by appointment. We are not open to the general public like a store so you don't have to compete for the attention of a commissioned salesperson. You have access to our entire warehouse and showroom collections in a comfortable, one on one environment. We will help you find the furniture you desire at a price you can afford.
Whatever happened to.........?????
I saw a posting about the dealers who went on the last trip. Where was Theron Wilson, Team Perry, Barb Clark, Sarah T., Cindy C., P. Woodbury., Greg C....and on and on. Are all the old "leaders" gone?I posted this yesterday but it got covered by the PMD spam. Is Rick Dooley really part of the law suite against PMD?
Top Dealers are part of the PMD Lawsuit
All of these dealers, except the Perrys and P. Woodberry are part of the Dealers Association and suing PMD for fraud and misrepresentation. Things can't be good when former members of your management team and your all-time top dealers are taking you to court. The Perrys have been out of business for a couple of years already. Yup, the same Perrys who were #2 in the company 2 or 3 years ago. They became part of the management team for awhile and dropped out of PMD not long after.
Dealer Association
Is there a list of the members of the Dealer Association? Are these all still active dealers? Are they still buying product from PMD? How could that work?
Cindy C. Mitch L.
Is Cindy part of the Dealers Assn and her brother Mitch is still Dir of Training? Or has Mitch (the master of the phone) left the PMD fold also? I've been gone for a couple of years so I'm out of touch. I remember taking my site visit with Team Perry. My God, how times have changed!
Furniture Today Story
Will Furniture Today write about the Golden Boy and the Retailer of the Year 2008? Jeff thanked all the dealers and ex dealers for his award and said he couldn't do what he did without the dealers. Now 23 out of 46 that are still left in the company say he's a fraud and he misrepresented the story and business potential. The Att. General of illinois said PMD was selling Franchises without a registratiion. Monster and Careerbuilder said he was msirepresenting his ads by saying PMD had "jobs" Ten years and not one job was filled from PMD's Vector tyoe advertising.
Looks like PMD will file suit against Furniture Today. Furniture Today helped them perpeuate their fraud so they probably have a real concern. How about those ads where Jeff claims he learned "everything from reading Furniture Today every week cover to cover."
In a recent answer to a legal question about who he worked with at Furniture Today, Jeff responeded "i don't remember their names, we work with alot of people." I am sure Furniture Today wished that statement were true. They wished they never heard of PMD.
Hopefully Furniture Today isn't afraid to right their wrongs
I just hope Furniture Today reports the news accurately and doesn't gloss things over for PMD. It can't be easy telling the world that they gave the Retailer of the Year award to a fraud. PMD Furniture fed them fake stories and sales figures and Furniture Today bought it hook, line and sinker and obviously didn't do their homework. Any decent journalist would retract the falsehoods from the truth and admit they were duped. It will be interesting if Furniture Today is indeed a newspaper or really just an advertising rag.
Furniture Today to report on Dealers suing PMD
Spoke to Editor-in-Chief of Furniture Today. They are working on a story covering the lawsuit the PMD Dealers Association filed against PMD Furniture Direct for fraud and misrepresentations, among other things. The Editor responded without hesitation that they're on top of the story and said they're just awaiting response from Mr. Hosking for a quote. Until that story hits print for all in the furniture industry to see, read it here: http://www.bluemaumau.org/8613/dealers_association_sues_pmd_fraud. This is excellent breaking news from BMM. Great reporting from Bluemaumau. Looks like the wheels are falling off the PMD wagon faster than anyone could have imagined.
The Columbus branch is out of
The Columbus branch is out of business. No more ads on Craig's list, they have no sales person to answer the phone. How can they sell more locations if they can't get the model to work at corporate HQ? Hey, since the placement and training staff have nothing to do, why don't they try to make it work? It looks like they are giving up.
Are you kidding me Jeff? What
Are you kidding me Jeff? What ever happened to dominant predator? Get your butt in there and show everyone this program works. Come on you are the best, you invented this business, the Columbus branch should be the model we all look up to!! Please show us, I put my faith in you when I signed up for 10 more years. I am working 12 hrs a day 7 days a week and I am having a tough time, you said I need to get tougher on my competition and work even harder!!! And you can't find any one to answer the phone??
