About Bush & Gilles Furniture
The Gilles family story started when Gene Gilles married Linda Johnson and they had two sons, Brian and Kevin. After a few years, Gene began to manage a shoe store in Rice Lake for Charlie Bush. They later went into partnership and decided to open a furniture store two doors down from the shoe store. Over the next thirty years, Bush and Gilles Furniture expanded their retail stores to three communities throughout Wisconsin in Cameron, Spooner and Ladysmith.
The Ladysmith location was run by family friend Brian Rohlik. In 2018, the reconstruction of Main Street in Cameron forced the three stores to move into the old J.C.Penny space at the Cedar Mall in Rice Lake. The businesses rented out that space until purchasing the old Office Max building in 2021. Once the stores were moved to the new building, Brian, Kathi, and Jacob Gilles took over running the Rice Lake location.
The family purchased the old Sears store in Spooner in 2022 and opened a second Sticks-N-Stones Rustic Furniture, which is run by Wendy Gilles. Brian and Kathi Gilles, and Kevin and Wendy Gilles co-owned the furniture retail operation.
In January 2025, Brian and Kathi retired making way for Kevin and Wendy to purchase their half of the operation. Now along with their three children, Cole, Jasmine, and Kasandra, the Gilles family gives true meaning to the term “Family Owned and Operated.” They feel very thankful to all of their customers that have supported their family business over the years.
With over 50 years in business and a combined 100 years of experience, you can trust that Bush & Gilles Furniture is your premier source for top quality home furniture at affordable prices.
