McAndrews rejoins Mattress Firm

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 23, 2009

HOUSTON — Bedding veteran Craig McAndrews has rejoined retailer Mattress Firm as a regional sales manager. He is a former franchisee for the retailer and also worked as a consultant to Mattress Firm on a number of projects in recent years.

“Craig provides a tremendous amount of insight for our organization,” said Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm's president. “He has seen all sides of the business from owning a franchise to retail consulting. He is very familiar with Mattress Firm's culture, which will aid in his transition and ability to make an immediate impact on the business.”

Mattress Firm, based here, is one of the country's largest bedding specialty retailers.

McAndrews most recently operated The Retail Institute, a consumer research and sales education company. Earlier, he was a co-founder of the Innovative Retail Group and held sales posts at Stearns & Foster, Sealy and Simmons.

He was a Mattress Firm franchisee in Phoenix starting in 1999, and built the company to 18 stores before it was sold to Mattress Firm Inc.
