As we celebrate 35 years of doing things The Bob’s Way, let’s take a moment to celebrate 35 years of fabulous Bob’s posters — take a trip down memory lane as we relive some of our favorite milestones to becoming where America shops for furniture!

1997 Bob's launches its Charitable Foundation text with cartoon of a bearded man in a yellow shirt, red scarf, and hat sledding downhill with gift boxes, conveying a festive, charitable launch event.

Animated promotional poster for "Little Bob" showing a cheerful man in a blue suit and red bow tie running on a red carpet with palm trees and city skyline in the background. Text reads: "Little Bob makes his Commercial debut! 2003." The design evokes a classic Hollywood commercial debut theme.
