The Coconis Furniture Story
In 1927 Nick and Stella Coconis, founders of Coconis Furniture, moved to Zanesville and opened a small second hand furniture store in the downtown named “The Zanesville Furniture Company.” Later in 1953, 2nd generation sons, Paul and Don Coconis, took over the business and a new store was built at its present location in South Zanesville. The store’s name was also changed to “Hallmark Furniture”.
The store remained in business until 1960 when it was converted for a short time to a restaurant called the Burger House. In 1961 the furniture business was reopened under the name “Furniture Discount House”.
In 1981 3rd generation sons of Paul Coconis, Randy and Paul Jr. Coconis took over the business and changed the name to Coconis Furniture, Inc.
