New La-Z-Boy Kidz gallery opens
Staff -- Kids Today, 7/5/2006 12:00:00 AM
New Castle, Del.-based Furniture Barn is the latest juvenile retailer to feature a La-Z-Boy Kidz gallery. The May grand opening celebrated the nearly 2,000-square-foot gallery featuring kids furniture, top-of-bed items and accessories from La-Z-Boy's youth company, Lea Inds. "We are very excited to be a part of the La-Z-Boy Kid's family," said owner David Barnes. "The La-Z-Boy brand is so strong and so well known, and it is the perfect brand for children's furniture where mothers want to buy a product from a company they really trust." The dedicated section features nine furniture groups as well as the La-Z-Boy Kidz' Room In A Box accessory program. It takes up about 10% of the store's 20,000 square feet. "Furniture Barn represents one of the best and most successful independent furniture operations in the country, and we are more than proud to celebrate this opening with them," said Johne Albanese, Lea's vice president of marketing. Dave Everett, store general manager, said consumers have been highly complimentary of both the gallery and the products. "We just couldn't be happier with the response we've received. This is going to be one of the best galleries we've done," he said. The store previously had Bassett and Broyhill galleries, but doesn't now. "The children are running from one area to another like they're in a toy store," said owner Pame Barnes. "The children and parents alike love the whole package. Some consumers think they have to go somewhere else to furnish the room, but now they can offer the comforters, lamps, mirrors, bookends and other items to fill out the room." La-Z-Boy Kidz now has more than 450 gallery locations throughout the United States and Canada. |
