Cavitt honored by WHFA
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, April 24, 2005
Roseville, Calif. — Dave Cavitt, president of the seven-store Furniture Enterprises of Alaska, has been named the 2005 Western Retailer of the Year by the Western Home Furnishings Assn.
The annual award recognizes a retailer who is exemplary in merchandising, advertising, store design and betterment of the industry. WHFA said Cavitt was "selected by a committee of his peers for his dedication to the industry, employees and the community."
"Dave is unique in this business," said Marvin Kerby, president of the WHFA, which represents some 1,100 retailers in 12 states. "While many home furnishing retailers may pull a 3% or 4% market share, Dave manages to bring in about a 50% share in many key categories."
Cavitt moved to Alaska at age 17. After he was laid off from a job, he became the second employee of Sadler's Home Furnishings.
Now, 30 years later, Cavitt is the owner of a company that has grown to seven stores in Alaska — three Sadler's in Anchorage, Sterling and Fairbanks; and Williams & Kay, La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, The Ultimate Mattress Store and Rooms Express in Anchorage.
