Jim, a local businessman, has lived and worked in Jacksonville’s Westside for many years. With his family, he started the Circle R rent horse barn, now the site of Circle K Furniture, and later opened Circle K Feeds.
It was while operating the Circle K Feed Store that Jim and his wife Louise began selling furniture. As sales grew, Jim built two new buildings, sold the feed store, and began selling home furnishings full time. Jim tried retirement for a short time, but decided to revive his old furniture business instead.
