Best Buy has announced it recently acquired Yardbird, a leading direct-to-consumer company that specializes in premium outdoor furniture.
Yardbird offers a large selection of outdoor furniture, from dining sets and lounge seating to fire tables and accessories, with seven showrooms across the country. Based out of St. Louis Park, Minn., Yardbird was founded by Minnesota natives Bob and Jay Dillon.
Like Best Buy, Yardbird is committed to sustainability and strongly believes in bettering the environment, and does so by using eco-friendly materials from plastic that would have otherwise ended up in the ocean. The company has also partnered with carbonfund.org to offset its carbon footprint, has meaningfully reduced its packaging material usage and uses recycled sources for some of their packaging materials.
Best Buy will begin to sell Yardbird products online in the coming months. Yardbird will also continue to sell its own selection of outdoor furniture on Yardbird.com and in the company’s showrooms across the country. Founders Bob and Jay Dillon will also remain in leadership roles at Yardbird.
