At Ashley Furniture HomeStore(R), we make beautiful home furnishings affordable. In less than 10 years, we have become the No. 1 selling furniture brand in the world and the No. 1 retailer of furniture and bedding in the United States. Our stores are located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, and Japan, and we are expanding domestically and abroad everyday. There are several factors that have contributed to our success. First, we are able to deliver quality and value everyday. The Ashley Furniture team includes a full time design group dedicated to creating furniture styles that will complement any decorating style. Ashley Furniture production teams then carefully build each piece, ensuring quality construction and workmanship. The furniture is then carefully shipped to each Ashley Furniture HomeStore location using our own transportation fleet. Because the Ashley Team controls all processes from design to delivery, we are able to reduce our costs and pass these savings on to our customers as Exclusive Ashley Furniture HomeStore Pricing. Second, our stores are locally owned and operated. Because our store owners and their team members live and work in the same areas in which their stores are located, we have better insight into the needs and preferences of our customers at the local level. Additionally, many of our stores actively participate in charitable events that promote the continued growth, development and enrichment of their communities.
