By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, July 23, 2007
Fairborn, Ohio — Industry veteran Tom Daley is joining Morris Furniture here as vice president of merchandising for home furnishing and home theater, a new post at the Top 100 chain.
Daley, with 35 years of industry experience, most recently was executive vice president and general manager of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Breuners Arizona, where he worked for 13 years.
In April, Breuners announced it was closing its four-store operation.
Before joining the Arizona chain, Daley was senior vice president and general merchandise manager for department store Elder Beerman from 1988 to 1994, when it was based in Dayton, Ohio.
At Morris, he will oversee all home furnishings merchandising at its three retailing formats — Morris Home Furnishings, Ashley Furniture HomeStores and Thomasville.
"As our company continues to grow in our Ohio showrooms located in Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus, and in northern Kentucky, Tom will complement our current management team," said George Hartley, Morris chief operating office.
