At Klocker’s we believe that it’s up to hometown businesses to make the contributions that better a community. We are proud to know that our family has
been providing this service to our community here in Pierre for 40 years.

In 1936, Al and Dorothy Klocker opened a small furniture store in Hoven.  They closed the Hoven store in 1970 and joined their son Jerry and his wife Sharon, who had opened a furniture store in Pierre in 1967.  As Pierre grew, Klocker’s grew with it to accommodate the needs of central South Dakota.  A second showroom was added to the building located at 765 E. Sioux Ave., in 1974.  After purchase of the warehouse in 1998, the basement was converted into yet another showroom in 1999. 

Klocker Furniture offers a wide variety of brands such as La-Z-Boy, Flexsteel, Sealy, Broyhill, Karastan, Lane, Tempur-Pedic, and Italsofa in their showrooms. 

Zeb, who is now the third generation of Klockers in the family business, said that they personally do all the buying so customers receive hand-picked quality and style.  “The customer is the boss and what they want we get.”  Jerry said that he has always enjoyed the freedom to make personalized buying decisions.   In order to get what the customer wants, Jerry, Zeb and their staff make an annual trip to the World Market Center in Las Vegas, N.V.  We also purchase lamps and accessories from the Chicago and Dallas furniture markets.  Customer service is No. 1 with us.  We like to give our customers the unique looks they desire.  We also offer a free home decorating service,  providing consultations that help the customer feel more comfortable about their interior design decisions.

For over 70 years, customer service has been a priority at Klocker’s because we know it is the key to success.  To be successful, one has to have a passion for their work, and at Klocker’s, we work hard to get it right, from sales to delivery and after.  The quality of merchandise, having hard-working employees who are experienced, informed and committed, and striving to do our best to make shopping at Klocker’s an enjoyable experience are three things that are very important in our business.   Our employees are one of the store’s best assets, and we have more than 120 years of combined experience.  It’s fun to do business with people who know what they are doing.
