About Us

We opened our first Scan Design location on April 4th, 1969 in Winter Park, Florida with two employees. Our founders Lis and Preben Knudsen sold furniture by day and delivered it at night. Early on they actually lived in the backroom of the 4,000 square-foot store with their 3 year-old daughter and newborn son. One make-or-break day, this allowed them to stay open past closing and helped to secure an after-hours, rent-saving, sale.
