Minnesota-based retailer Hom Furniture has named Flexsteel as its 2016 Vendor of the Year and Jackson Furniture sales representative David Epperson as its Manufacturer’s Representative of the Year.
The awards were presented by Kyle Johansen, executive director of merchandising for Hom Furniture, at the retailer’s annual awards banquet.
The vendor award is designed to honor a partner who demonstrated the highest commitment towards growing its product line with innovative products and top level service at Hom, officials said.
“Hom has carried the Flexsteel upholstery line since 2011 when we started with leather motion,” Johansen said. “Since we have expanded into their full line of upholstery and case goods, we continue to be impressed by their commitment to quality craftsmanship, style and superior comfort, and we are pleased to partner with Flexsteel in delivering a beautiful product at a great value to our customers.”
Epperson was cited for his overall professionalism and timeliness of service, as well as a proven commitment to Hom Furniture’s success.
“David has been beloved by our sales associates since he became our Jackson representative in 2011,” Johansen said. “He is a prolific showroom visitor, top problem solver and excellent liaison between Jackson and Hom. He has also proven himself to be a formidable opponent on the golf course, with his golf team winning the Hom Open in 2014 and coming in third in 2016. We are proud to have him be part of our ‘Hom team’.”
