Furniture World News Desk on 10/31/2017

Bob’s Discount Furniture recently announced the opening of its new headquarters and corporate campus on Tolland Turnpike in Manchester, CT.

The new 103,000 square-foot, three-story building will be the home of over 200 Bob’s Discount Furniture employees and provide additional office space for growth over the next 25 years. The new headquarters is equipped with LED lighting, a full-service cafeteria and dining room, and a training facility. Bob’s worked with many local companies to complete this campus: Waterstone, developer; Cramer & Levine, architect; and FIP Construction Inc., general contractor.

“The opening of our new corporate campus marks an exciting time for Bob’s and is a big step as we continue to expand across the country,” said Bob Kaufman, co-founder and president emeritus of Bob’s Discount Furniture. “We are thrilled to have been able to keep our current headquarters in a town that has been very supportive to us over the years and to have worked with many local companies to see our vision come to life.”

Bob’s celebrated the opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony with local officials and town employees, Bob’s employees, and partners that worked on the renovations. During the ceremony, the Bob’s Outreach team presented executives of Save the Children with a donation of $65,000 as part of their ongoing charitable initiatives.

In addition to the new building, Bob’s completed renovations, both to the interior and exterior, of its existing store on the corporate campus. Local construction firm, Fortunato Construction Group, completed these updates.
