<p>Manchester, CT – November 12, 2025 – <a href="https://www.mybobs.com/">Bob’s Discount Furniture</a>, one of the fastest growing omnichannel furniture retailers in the country, is proud to announce that the company has donated $214,000 to hunger relief organizations across the country this year and all-time giving has exceeded over $2 million dollars.</p>



<p>With the holiday season here, <a href="https://bobscares.org/">Bob’s Discount Furniture Charitable Foundation</a> dispersed 214 donation checks worth $1,000 each to food assistance organizations nationwide near every Bob’s Discount Furniture store and distribution center.</p>



<p>“Bob’s Discount Furniture and its employees are proud to support food pantries in our communities.&nbsp; This year&#8217;s donations bring the total for our Annual Thanksgiving Initiative since inception in 2014 to <strong>over 2 million dollars</strong>,” said Bob Kaufman, president emeritus and co-founder of Bob’s Discount Furniture. “We know that many people struggle to feed their families, and we’re hoping these donations help provide meals to those in need this holiday season.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bob’s Charitable Foundation has supported hunger relief organizations for over 10 years and is proud of many longstanding relationships with community organizations devoted to eradicating hunger. One such organization is the Community Services League (CSL) of Jackson County in Independence, Missouri.</p>



<p>&#8220;Bob’s Discount Furniture continues to show what it means to be a true community partner,” said Richard Betts, Chief Development Officer, Community Services League. “Their annual donations make a direct and measurable impact with the families we serve — helping keep shelves stocked and hope alive during times when it’s needed most.&#8221;</p>



<p>With over 100 years of service, CSL has grown into the largest and most comprehensive social services organization in the area with 13 locations, including eight food pantry sites. CSL supports more than 20,000 individuals each year through a wide range of essential programs and resources.</p>

<p><strong>Manchester, CT – October 29, 2025</strong> – Bob’s Discount Furniture, one of the fastest-growing omnichannel furniture retailers in the country, is proud to be recognized for the <strong>fourth consecutive year</strong> as a <strong>2025 “Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation”</strong> by <em>Redefining the Road</em>, the official magazine of the <strong>Women in Trucking Association</strong>.

									<p>“Los Angeles is more than where we play — it’s our home,” said Molly Higgins, EVP of Community Impact and Engagement, Los Angeles Rams. “When members of our community are hurting, we see it as an opportunity to step up and assist. We’re proud to partner with Zillow and Bob’s Discount Furniture to provide families with the stability, comfort, and hope they deserve.”</p>
<p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p>
<p>This housing relief initiative is part of the Rams Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting Los Angeles communities in times of need and reflects the organization’s belief that every Angeleno deserves a safe place to call home. Since January, the Rams have worked to bring “LA Together” following the fires in a variety of ways, including hosting multiple distribution events and supporting local schools and non-profits serving the fire-impacted communities. Beyond financial donations to the Red Cross, LAFD Foundation and World Central Kitchen, in July the Rams partnered with United Way of Greater Los Angeles to host WalkUnitedLA at the Rose Bowl, raising $500,000 to support community-driven wildfire recovery efforts. The Rams also previously partnered with Zillow for their 2025 Draft House at <a href="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/bobs-supports-la-rams-zillow-draft-headquarters-at-lafd-air-operations-with-recliner-contribution/">LAFD Air Operations,</a> showcasing their commitment to community resilience and honoring the first responders who protect the city they call home.</p>

									<p>Furniture Today has named Bob’s Discount Furniture Buyer, Christine Santostefano, a <a href="https://www.furnituretoday.com/furniture-people/40-under-40-2025-christine-santostefano-bobs-discount-furniture/">40 Under 40</a> in their recent People Issue.</p><p>At 34, Christine has been on a fast track at Bob’s growing from an entry level position of merchandising operations associate in 2019, to leading one of the most dynamic departments in merchandising as the Home Décor Buyer.</p><p>Most notably, Christine has spearheaded the first Bob’s marketplace, featuring home décor items, which debuted at Bob’s flagship experience location in Somerville, Massachusetts last fall. Bob’s is now testing smaller home décor vignettes in a few other store locations.</p><p>&#8220;Christine has more than earned this recognition from Furniture Today,&#8221; said Tracy Paccione, Vice President of Merchandising. &#8220;In her role at Bob&#8217;s, Christine drives success by anticipating market trends and developing forward-thinking strategies for Bob&#8217;s that propel the business ahead.&#8221;</p><p>As the Home Décor Buyer at Bob’s, Christine manages a wide range of categories including occasional chairs, rugs, lighting, wall décor, tabletop accessories, trees and floral, decorative pillows, top of bed, and small accent furniture.</p><p>“My focus is on continuously introducing fresh styles and trend-forward designs while ensuring great value to our customers,” shared Christine.</p><p>Christine said some of her major achievements since starting with Bob’s have been building Bob’s decorative pillow business and Bob’s top of bed category.  </p><p>“Bob’s already offers an amazing assortment of pillows with our sofas, so I had to be creative in choosing decorative pillows in unique colors, shapes, and sizes to entice guests,” she said.  “Last season I brought in novelty holiday decorative pillows in a candy-cane shape and a gingerbread cookie shape; they which were both fun and popular!”</p><p>In recent years, Bob’s experienced success with its Sofia living room collections and Christine shared that she brought that trend to home décor by introducing Sofia top of bed as a cash and carry stocked program – something Bob’s previously did not carry outside of the DTC program. The program quickly became a best-seller and exceeded expectations.</p><p>“I’ve always had a passion for product development, which has been a key driver in my career progression. I take pride in creating high-performance products that deliver exceptional value to our customers,” she shared. “Staying on top of the latest styles, color trends, and consumer preferences has been essential, along with building and maintaining strong partnerships with vendors. These experiences have all played a significant role in helping me grow into my current position.”</p><p>Additionally, Christine notes her eye for design and spotting trends have contributed to her expansion of Bob’s home décor offerings. She credits her mentors Carol Glaser, Bob’s Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, and Tracy Paccione, for giving her runway and trust in bringing her visions for new products to life.</p><p>“Carol and Tracy are always super supportive and love to see what I&#8217;m coming up with,” said Christine. “Color is one area that I can try new things and when it works, the trend can be brought into larger categories, which they welcome and encourage.”</p><p>&#8220;Christine is an incredibly talented merchant with an eye for trend-right products and the skill to negotiate them at a value for our customers,” said Carol. “She excels at introducing fun and unique items and pulling them together in a way that our customers just love. Her keen sense of style, dedication to excellence, and strong vendor relationships make her an invaluable asset to our team.&#8221;</p>								</div>

									<p>Before coming to Bob’s, Christine held the position of account manager for apparel and skincare manufacturers. Switching from sales to buying was a significant career change, shared Christine.</p><p>“Finding the position at Bob’s that offered me the opportunity to explore and grow in product development is really what drove my decision to make a career shift,” she shared.</p><p>With this 40 Under 40 recognition, Christine has proven she is flourishing on this side of the business and growing alongside Bob’s, which is now the nation’s seventh largest furniture company.</p><p>Christine said with all the creativity she brings to her position and new items she tries, one of the most important factors is to remain true to Bob’s commitment to offer value without compromise in every category.</p><p>“One of my proudest accomplishments is making sure Bob’s value statement goes across all categories, especially home décor,” said Christine.</p><p>With more to accomplish in smaller home décor categories, Christine said, “I am grateful for this recognition, happy in my current role, and looking forward to continuing to grow and develop with Bob’s.”</p>								</div>

<p>This summer, Bob’s Discount Furniture reached an incredible milestone: the opening of our 200th store! While our Wilmington, NC location has the official honor of being store 200, we wanted every location and every employee to understand the role they played in our journey to 200 stores and beyond.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Bob Discount Furniture’s President and CEO Bill Barton shared, “Whether an associate joined Bob’s last month or back in 1991, they are all part of this story. The 200th store milestone is a reminder that behind every delivery, every sale, every guest interaction, there are so many people who helped build Bob’s into what it is today.&#8221;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Secret Behind Bob’s Success</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<p>In a special video message to employees, our founder Bob Kaufman reflected on the journey from one small store in 1991 to a coast-to-coast brand with 200 locations today. Bob shared that while our growth has been incredible, the real secret to Bob’s success is simple: smart, dedicated employees who bring energy, creativity, and care to everything they do. Their commitment has built a company culture where value, fun, and giving back to our communities always come first.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But Bob also wanted to thank you, our loyal customers, for your role in our success. Because without customers, there’d be no Bob’s. Let’s hear what Bob’s has to say:</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Team Effort Worth Celebrating</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Throughout the summer, Bob’s employees and partners found many ways to mark the moment. During our annual Home Office Company Cookout, employees gathered together to form the number “200”—a fitting symbol of how every milestone at Bob’s is <strong>powered by people</strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="586" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/200stores-1024x586.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8333" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/200stores-1024x586.jpg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/200stores-300x172.jpg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/200stores-768x440.jpg 768w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/200stores.jpg 1430w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bob&#8217;s Home Office Company Cookout, July 2025</figcaption></figure>



<p>Our Home Office employees also pledged to do 200 hours of work in local communities to mark the occasion.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_1023-1024x768.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-7946" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_1023-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_1023-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_1023-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_1023-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/IMG_1023-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Many of our sports partners and charitable organizations sent us words of encouragement and even some special memorabilia.&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/giants-too-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8334" srcset="https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/giants-too-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/giants-too-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.mybobs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/giants-too.jpg 807w" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Our partners at the New York Giants helped us celebrate 200!</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Coming Full-Circle: Looking Back to Look Ahead</strong>&nbsp;</h2>



<p>As summer reached its unofficial end over Labor Day weekend, our 200-themed festivities also drew to a close but not before having one final celebration where it all began: <strong>Newington, Connecticut</strong>. The relocation and Grand Opening of our new Newington location wasn’t just another ribbon cutting—it was a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come and the amazing people who got us here. The event, which featured a &#8220;Mini Museum of Bob’s History,&#8221; food trucks, and fun activities, was set up as a block party as our way of saying thank you to the people of Newington who helped Bob’s get its start. Several customers shared personal anecdotes with Bob Kaufman about their first piece of furniture from Bob’s and why they’ve stayed loyal to the brand throughout the past 30 years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From Newington to every corner of the country, reaching 200 stores is both a celebration and a promise. It’s a celebration of the communities we’ve joined, the families who celebrated their memorable moments with our furniture, and the team that makes it all possible. And it’s a promise that as Bob’s continues to grow, we’ll keep staying true to what got us here: <strong>great value, great people, and great furniture.</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here’s to 200—and to the exciting road ahead!</p>
