Roanoke Mayor Scooter Gierisch helped celebrate the 30th anniversary of the local business Runyon’s Fine Furniture with an official proclamation Oct. 22.

The details

Bo and Andy Runyon first began selling bean bags on the streets near Fort Worth 30 years ago, according to Gierisch's proclamation. In 2012, the Runyons made the move to Roanoke, where they shifted their focus to high-end, custom furniture.

The business has been in the city ever since, selling furniture for dining and living rooms, office spaces and more.

“It’s been a long road and I’m just happy to be where I’m at,” Andy Runyon said.
