The Gamble Story In 1990, Dan and Wanda Gamble founded Gamble and Sons Discount Furniture. They opened their first store in a tiny 600 square foot building in historic Downtown Manila, AR. From the beginning, their success has been built by service after the sale. In 1996, after years of success, we updated to a new, larger building on Highway 18 in Manila. We also decided to change the name to Gamble Home Furnishings to reflect the new creative direction in which our store was heading.
