Founded in 1984 by business partners Linder and Foucrier, Garden Grove, Calif.-based Linder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s began as a waterbed store before evolving into an oak specialty store in the early 1990s. After the recession of the mid-1990s, the company was reorganized, with the larger stores becoming the present full-line furniture stores.<\/p>\n
Linder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s acquired the Legacy stores in January, bringing the company\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s network of stores to 11 and its staff to more than 375. Based on 2012 sales, the Linder group ranked 90th on Furniture\/Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Top 100 with furniture, bedding and decorative accessories sales of $74 million. Sales this year are expected to exceed $80 million, the WHFA said.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have been through many growth modes,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Foucrier. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We have been through the good and the bad times.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
Foucrier and Linder have devoted much time to industry leadership roles such as advisory boards for the High Point and Las Vegas markets.<\/p>\n
The company also supports charitable causes, including local athletic teams and children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s causes, the City of Hope, Habitat for Humanity and the Make-a-Wish Foundation. In 2013, Linder\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s was Southern California\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Retailer of the Year for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I firmly believe that as a successful local business, supporting these organizations is simply my way of thanking a local community for their support throughout the year,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Linder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
