Hudson’s of Stratford is a family-run Furniture and Mattress store. In 1912, our founder, Harry Shapiro, sold dry goods door-to-door to the people of Stratford from a horse-drawn cart. As his company grew and prospered, he was able to open a storefront. Because Stratford was a major railway hub, this location was strategically located between the rail yards to the south and the downtown city centre. Originally known as Stratford House Furnishings, the name was changed to Hudson’s in the early postwar years, and we have remained Hudson’s ever since.

We make every effort to provide our customers with a good selection of Canadian-made products.
