Belfort Furniture names Kennedy senior director
Will oversee marketing, merchandising and sales
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 25, 2008
DULLES, Va. — Dan Kennedy, former president of St. Louis retailer Kloss Furniture, has been named senior director of Belfort Furniture, a new position at the Washington-area retailer.
Kennedy led the day-to-day operations of 13 showrooms and a distribution center for Kloss, which in early 2007 sold its dedicated Lane, Broyhill and Thomasville stores to manufacturer Furniture Brands International. Before joining Kloss, he was president of industry management and sales training organization Selling Retail International.
At Belfort, Kennedy will oversee advertising and marketing, merchandising and sales and will report to Michael Huber, CEO.
“Dan brings a wealth of experience to Belfort, particularly in sales organization and training, and in merchandising,” said Huber. “His 23 years in the industry will bring a fresh outlook and a new approach to our business, enhancing our daily operations and leveraging our strengths to guide our future growth.”
Belfort, named among the “stores to watch” in Furniture/Today’s latest Top 100 report, had estimated 2006 sales of $40 million on its six-store campus here, about 20 miles west of the White House.
