By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on December 2008 Gorman’s Home Furnishings and Interior Design, a four-store chain based in Novi, Mich., was recently named a Top Workplace by the Detroit Free Press newspaper.

The retailer was selected as among 20 top workplaces in the small business category after more 23,000 employees responded to the newspaper’s Top Workplaces surveys earlier this year. Companies were evaluated on revenue, incentives offered and number of employees.

We believe in supporting and rewarding quality work and dedication.”
