What We Do
When Bob Kaufman opened the first Bob’s Discount Furniture in Newington, Connecticut in 1991, he had a mission: to provide unmatched value while never sacrificing integrity or honesty to do so, meaning no deception or phony gimmicks. That became “the Bob’s Way,” and it remains our approach to this day, with more than 170 home furnishings stores located across the U.S. Shop in-store and online at mybobs.com
Our mission extends beyond just providing excellent furniture at everyday low prices, though. We also have a goal to help better the communities surrounding each of our locations through the Bob’s Outreach program and the Bob’s Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation, but those are just the beginning. We donate a total of more than $2.75 million to charities each year because we believe that giving back is our responsibility and privilege as a company.
In addition to offering high-quality products at unbeatable prices, we also aim to provide an unparalleled shopping experience with on-the-house treats. Pop into one of our in-store cafés and you’ll see that we also collect donations. All the money collected through Bob’s Café Collections for a Cause is matched by Bob’s, and 100 percent of those donations go to a number of charities such as the Special Olympics and Operation Homefront.
Interested in a career with Bob’s? We employ 5,000 employees across our 160 locations, all of whom contribute to the high level of integrity and transparency Bob’s is known for. We provide career growth and training as well as competitive compensation and benefits in a fun and fast-paced environment.
