The W. S. Badcock Corp. was founded by Henry Stanhope Badcock in Mulberry, Florida in 1904. In 1920 Henry's son Wogan Stanhope Badcock, Jr bought the store. They struggled during the great depression but they pressed on through consignment at various stores in the area, route salesmen, and offering credit to customers that could not afford to pay in full. These sales tactics helped them survive the depression. In 1966 they were able to expand outside of Florida to Georgia, later to South Carolina, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Tennessee. In 1999 they updated their corporate image, added "and more" and the logo and stores took on a whole new look and design. Today, they are in 8 states: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia and continue to offer credit to their clients.
