Our History

We are a small town business located in Lawrence, Kansas, in America's heartland. We run HedgeApple with the same care and personal service that is synonymous with small-town life. We pride ourselves on offering great products, great prices and great customer service.

The Smith family story began in the early 1960s when Henry M. Smith and his sons realized that there was a market for surplus and unclaimed railroad goods. In 1969, a chance trade of paneling for carpet began the Smith family's journey into the rug industry and HMS Enterprises soon followed. HMS now has 17 stores throughout the heartland. Our online story began in 1999 with our flagship site, PlushRugs.com. After a lot of hard work and well-earned success, it was decided that home furnishing would be the natural next step in the growth of the company and in 2016 HedgeApple was born.

Why HedgeApple? 

Unless you’re from the heartland, chances are you’ve never heard of a hedge apple. Also known as an Osage orange, this round, bright green, bumpy fruit is a familiar sight in the Midwest. The trees line fields and country roads, their fruit scattered beneath them in the fall.

Growing up in the heartland, the Smith family had a special appreciation for hedge apples—collecting them as children, using them in seasonal displays, and admiring their distinctive texture and color. Their deep roots in the region and love for simple, natural beauty made HedgeApple the perfect name for a company dedicated to helping people create warm, welcoming homes.
