2020 Best Home Furnishings: Walker’s Furniture & Mattress
Walker’s might have “furniture” in its name, but for 2020 the Inland Northwest chain has pulled in a win for Best Home Furnishings, beating out a national newcomer.
It’s a sweet win for the chain to pick up during its 40th anniversary, said ownership team member Gary Absalonson.
“We are humbled,” he said.
The category has sometimes been called “home goods,” and focuses on decorative and functional items for the home.
Founder and owner Mark Walker and his wife Pam opened their first store in 1980. Kennewick’s store opened in 1986. “And Mattress” was later added to the name because of the chain’s increasing focus on selling mattresses.
Absalonson said the company is working to facilitate the needs of people during the pandemic. While Washington’s shops remain closed to customers, he said online orders can be fulfilled.
If you need to contact the store, call 509-535-1995, ext. 1275, between 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also send webtexts from the website.
