Empire Bedding and Furniture
What began as a family venture decades ago in Tompkinsville has evolved into the anchor that transformed Port Richmond's commercial landscape. Anthony Parisi carries forward his family's retail legacy, building on foundations laid alongside his father through their earlier Success in the dinette market. When they planted roots here in 1991, the neighborhood was largely dormant—just empty storefronts and quiet streets. Through persistent investment and community presence, they helped spark the revitalization that now defines the area as Staten Island's go-to destination for home furnishings. Winter visitors often appreciate the welcoming showroom warmth after stepping in from the cold, where the selection spans everything from bedroom essentials to complete living spaces.
