Owner of Maple St. Sit N Sleep announces store going out of business after 26 years
Editor’s Note: David Durk, the owner of Maple St. Sit N Sleep, submitted this article announcing the closure of his longtime Pocatello business and the reasons behind the decision.

So much so, that if you went into their home, it would look like our store. We are very grateful and appreciative of your patronage over the past 26 years.

My wife Cassie and I took over in 2017. Our family always tried to carry quality furniture and mattresses at fair prices as well as provide good customer service after the sale. My mom’s motto of “Quality furniture never had a better price” and running an honest business was always what we strived for. We were not perfect and couldn’t make everyone happy, but I think overall, people were very satisfied with their purchase/s from us. The reason we have
