ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) -- After about 10 years in the Rockford community, Monkey Joe’s on East State Street closed its doors for the final time Saturday.

The owner says the building's landlord did not extend the lease, forcing the business to close. They have no plans to open anywhere else in Rockford. Gustafson's Furniture and Mattress will now expand its East State location into the space where Monkey Joe’s was located. The business plans to move departments from its Riverside location, with hopes of having the entire company under one roof on State Street within a year.

"Our idea is that we'll expand our showroom a little bit and we're going to expand our warehouse operations over here so you can get your furniture faster than ever before," said David Gustafson, the Vice President of Gustafson’s Furniture and Mattress.

Gustafson's Riverside location is featuring a moving and expanding sale with items up to 50 percent off. Managers at Monkey Joe’s are thanking their customers for supporting the business over the past decade.
