American Signature, Inc. is a privately owned furniture company based in Columbus, Ohio.
In 1976, Jay Schottenstein joined Value City Furniture and in 1984, he was named company president.
With the addition of the proprietary American Signature brand, and the overall expansion of Value City Furniture, Jay knew it was time to completely break away from the department stores.
In 2002, American Signature, Inc. was formed, and eventually the company completely separated from Schottenstein Stores Corporation.
In 2003, the company announced the launch of the American Signature Furniture retail brand, with their first store opening in Nashville, Tennessee.
