in business, and he
relocated to Pittsburgh
for a job at Kauffmann’s
department store.
After three years in the
business, he returned
home with his sights set
on the family furniture
store.
That was 1979, and
he’s been carrying on
the family’s legacy ever
since.
With a business so
deeply rooted in the
community, Kammer
said he’s been “blessed”
that the store has had
great career employees.
The average employee
has been at Kammer’s
for at least 20 years
and the longest serving
current employee has
been with the store for
52 years.
Though times have
changed, the Kammer
family has made it a
point to preserve the
store’s history and
legacy – including its
original elevator.
