La-Z-Boy (NYSE: LZB) has honored family-owned Tipperary Sales, one of the largest La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries dealers in North America, with three awards at a ceremony held during the Spring High Point Market.
Two Tipperary Sales locations were recognized for being in the top ten stores of 355 in North America and one employee was recognized individually for excellence in interior design services.
"It was an honor to once again recognize Tipperary Sales and its employees for their continued dedication to serving our customers in such an outstanding manner," said Jim Reilly, vice president of sales for La-Z-Boy. "One Tipperary Sales employee, Rebecca Silver, earned recognition for being among the top performing designers in North America. At the same time, the company was acknowledged for operating two top-ten stores in the nation. These tremendous awards are evidence that Tipperary's organization embodies our mission of helping our customers live life comfortably."
The Pinnacle Club Award recognizes the top-selling in-home design consultants and sales consultants in the La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries network, one of the industry's largest dedicated store networks.
Tipperary was honored to receive one of these prestigious awards. Rebecca Silver, an in-home designer from the Charleston, S.C. location was recognized as the South Central region's honoree. Only ten La-Z-Boy consultants and designers are inducted into the Pinnacle Club annually, making it the highest honor for store employees. This is Rebecca's second time as a Pinnacle recipient.
"Becc is a tremendous talent," said Martha Brown, president and CEO Tipperary Sales. "She connects naturally with customers and is full of enthusiasm for filling their home with the La-Z-Boy brand, making their home equally comfortable and beautiful."
Each year, La-Z-Boy honors ten of the top-performing stores in North America. Tipperary Sales claimed No. 9 for its Greenville, S.C. Store for $8 million in sales. The No. 4 spot was awarded to Tipperary's Pineville, N.C. store for $11 million in sales. This is the 4th year in a row that the Pineville, N.C. location achieved top ten recognition.
