Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management has invited our club members to join them for a tour of La-Z-Boy . . .
Celebrate La-Z-Boy’s 90 Years of Comfort with a tour of our new World Headquarters.
La-Z-Boy’s iconic brand is recognized around the world with its reputation for Comfort and Quality. This is our 90th year of manufacturing and selling the most comfortable and stylish home furnishings. From humble beginnings in Monroe, MI, the Floral City Furniture Company was the brain child of two cousins. Their best seller – a revolutionary reclining chair – the La-Z-Boy has grown to a global brand.
After operating 87 years in the same location as the original factory, the company designed and built a Corporate Headquarters that “out googled Google” with a totally modern, environmentally friendly and technologically advanced workplace.
Join us for a tour of the new facility and the chance to reconnect with other Kellogg alumni. Following the tour, you will hear from our Vice President, Strategy & Analytics Aaron Brown as well as other La-Z-Boy Executives about the history and current positioning of the La-Z-Boy Brand.
