MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — Hansen's Furniture was recently awarded the Therapedic International Distinguished Retailer Award by the Therapedic - Northwest licensee.
Laurie Simpson, president of Therapedic - Northwest, made the presentation in the Mount Vernon store to Don Gerrior, owner of Hansen's.
Hansen's is an independent furniture store that has been in business in Washington since 1941 and has carried the Therapedic brand for more than 40 years. Gerrior, who started working at Hansen's as a truck driver, eventually bought the business, and he and his wife, Cindy, have operated it since 1995.
"I attribute our success with Therapedic to their reliability and flexibility, their willingness to make special products, and the fact that they are a local manufacturer who delivers complete and on time" said Gerrior.
Cindy Gerrior runs Hansen's For Kids, which carries an array of children's beds and sleep sets and is across the street from the main store.
"Hansen's is one of our best and longest-running customers," said Simpson. "This is the type of account that epitomizes what we are about - servicing local family businesses with quality sleep products in a timely fashion."
She said Hansen's has thrived over the years by staying focused on its business.
"As Mount Vernon has grown over the years, independent furniture stores and furniture store chains have come and gone in the area. But Hansen's remains committed to offering good values and strong service, a winning formula," she said.
Therapedic - Northwest is based in Auburn, Wash.
