San Diego-based retailer Jerome’s Furniture has hired Jon Landis as its new Senior Vice President and General Merchandising Manager.
Landis, whose appointment is effective today, brings more than 20 years of planning, cross-functional store operations, merchandising and executive leadership to the company.
“Jerome’s is one of the most successful organizations in our industry that remains, at its core, a family business,” said Landis. “The value this instills in all of us to do what is right by the customer is felt throughout the company and is in line with my own guiding principles. I’m thrilled to have this opportunity.”
Prior to joining Jerome’s, Landis served as Chief Merchandising Officer for Dublin, Ga.-based Farmer’s Home Furniture.
Prior to that, he spent 20 years with American Signature Furniture, rising to Divisional Merchandise Manager for Case Goods. In that role, Landis generated double-digit retail sales increases while reducing overall inventory investment and increased profit contributions for the company year-over-year.
“Jon is the right guy for this position, and we’re excited to have him aboard,” said Brian Woods, CEO of Jerome’s. “He has a keen eye for sourcing the quality products we seek for our customers and can do so at peak operational efficiency. I’m very much looking forward working with him.”
