Believing that the key to success is hard work and caring about other people, 2011 Inductee William A. (Bill) Hinks left his Wisconsin home in 1960, at age 22 with nothing more than $50 and an old Buick, to work with his uncle and make his mark in South Dakota. This led him to start his own furniture company, Furniture Outlets USA.
In this episode you will hear:
- Bill’s early years in South Dakota
- how he got his start in the furniture industry,
- and his encouragement to the youth in South Dakota today.
“People are so important…find people who dream the same dream as you.” – Bill Hinks
Over the last 50 years, Bill’s company has successfully grown from humble beginnings to employing over 700 people in more than thirty-five retail stores and distribution centers in SD, ND, MN, and IA. Furniture Outlets USA currently ranks 50th among America’s top 100 furniture retailers.
