In addition, he will fit very well into the company’s culture.”
“I’m honored to join Sam Moore, an iconic American brand,” Reeves said. “The talented Sam Moore team has the experience, skill and enthusiasm to enable us to expand the brand. Our plan is to sharpen selection, simplify our message, streamline direction and focus on speed of delivery to our current and future customers.”
