“A great team is truly is the key to our success,” said President John Wright. “For more than 130 years, we have employed local friends and family, and we are blown away by their dedication and willingness to put in the work. That’s what has carried us through today and will carry us for hopefully another 130 years.”

The management team at Wright’s Furniture said when times got challenging during the past few years, their employee's work ethic is what helped them thrive as a business.

“Our all-hands-on-deck leadership approach was essential when the coronavirus pandemic disrupted business,” said Alex Wright, marketing manager. “We had to clean and remodel our showroom while finding new ways to stay in touch with our customers through social media while they couldn’t leave their homes. We are grateful for our supportive customers and are honored to be recognized by Furniture Today for this award.”
