Where We Started
The story begins with founder Conner Ferguson, who showed an early entrepreneurial spark growing up in Glasgow. At just 12 he started a paper round in the Knightswood area and, through hard work and initiative, built one of the biggest rounds in the city by taking over others’ routes.
By 19 he had saved enough to buy a van and begin house removals. Customers started asking him to take away old furniture, which led him to open the Wee Second Hand Shop from small premises in Govan. When the pandemic hit, he turned the challenge into an opportunity by building a strong social media presence and selling online, growing the business through lockdowns and the cost-of-living pressures that followed.
As demand grew, the chance came to take on larger premises in Hillington. In December 2023 The Big Sofa Warehouse opened its doors. What started with one van has grown into a thriving showroom with a growing team, multiple delivery vans, and plans to expand further across Central Scotland. In 2026 the business took its next step by welcoming The Luxury Bed Store (founded in 2018) into the family.
We’re still the same hands-on business at heart — focused on giving customers great sofas (new or fully custom) and quality beds with straightforward service and value. Come and visit us in Hillington and see the range for yourself.
