Springfield Furniture Direct an Ideal Fit for U-Haul Dealership
SPRINGFIELD, ILL. (Aug. 12, 2015) – Springfield Furniture Direct owners Donald and Nancy MacBeth met online and turned out to be a perfect match.
Now, their company and U-Haul are proving to be another ideal fit.
Springfield Furniture Direct is an overstock and closeout furniture store that recently signed on as a U-Haul neighborhood dealer, offering customers a way to transport their new bedroom sets home safely. U-Haul® trucks, trailers, towing equipment, moving supplies and more are now available at 1701 N. Dirksen Pkwy.

Donald is originally from St. Louis, but when he met Nancy online and saw how invested she was in her family, he decided to relocate to Illinois.
“There are always little things that help people click,” Donald said. “Our family lifestyles were comparable, but we’re also opposites in some ways. I was born in the big city and she’s a farm girl.”
When the Donald decided to open Springfield Furniture Direct six years ago, he was taking notes from a cousin who owned a furniture business in Ohio.
“We’re a mom-and-pop sort of business,” Donald said. “But we have the buying power of a big retail store.”
Customers can find name-brand furniture at Springfield Furniture Direct. Not only can they get a deal while avoiding retail prices, but they can be sure to save money by transporting the furniture home with U-Haul.
U-Haul Company of Illinois, Inc. and Springfield Furniture Direct are striving to benefit the environment through sustainability initiatives. Truck sharing is a core U-Haul sustainability business practice that allows individuals to access a fleet of trucks that is larger than what they could access on an individual basis.
Every U-Haul truck placed in a community helps keep 19 personally owned large-capacity vehicles, pickups, SUVs and vans off the road. Fewer vehicles means less traffic congestion, less pollution, less fuel burned and cleaner air.
Springfield Furniture Direct is a great place to become U-Haul Famous. Take your picture in front of a U-Haul product, send it in and your face could land on the side of a U-Haul truck.
