What We Do

La-Z-Boy Incorporated brings the transformational power of comfort to people, homes, and communities around the world—a mission that began when our founders invented the iconic recliner in 1927.

Our Retail segment consists of 184 company-owned La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries® stores and is part of a broader network of over 350 La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries®, serving customers nationwide when coupled with La-Z-Boy.com. Joybird®, an ecommerce retailer and manufacturer of modern upholstered furniture, has 12 stores in the U.S. In our Wholesale segment, we manufacture comfortable, custom furniture for our Furniture Galleries® and a variety of retail channels: England Furniture Co., which offers custom upholstered furniture, and casegoods brands Kincaid®, American Drew®, and Hammary®, which provide pieces that make every room feel like home.

The La-Z-Boy Incorporated state-of-the-art, LEED-certified world headquarters is located in Monroe, Michigan. This location along with our Innovation Center in Dayton, Tennessee, and all our North American manufacturing locations all represent our commitment to the environment—we integrate sustainable business practices to reduce the impact of our operations.

Being a great employer isn’t limited to our sustainability or record-breaking safety performance; it also means being a good corporate citizen.
