Retail industry executive Steve Glucksman has rejoined Art Van Furniture, as vice president, real estate, franchising and new business development.
Glucksman previously served as senior vice president of strategic business development and store operations at Art Van Furniture from December 2009 to January 2014. In his new role, Glucksman will focus his attention on new store and franchise growth opportunities. He left Art Van Furniture in January 2014 to join Ashley Furniture as executive vice president of stores and licensed operations under its Ashley Furniture HomeStores division.
"I am ecstatic to welcome Steve back home to Art Van Furniture, especially at a time when our expansion throughout the Midwest is in full swing," said Van Elslander, chairman. "Steve is uniquely qualified. His deep knowledge and understanding of our company, our culture and our vision for the future allows him to jump in feet first to help us lead this charge."
John Wyatt, vice president, store environment and development for the retailer, will focus exclusively on store design, construction, property management and visual merchandising.
