Wright’s Furniture & Flooring is celebrating a notable accolade in the first ever “Generational Legacy Award” from the Midwest Furniture Club.  The networking group of furniture store owners and executives honored Wright’s for the work of its five generations of family ownership. The company – in its 136 years of existence – has locations in Taylorville, Dieterich, Effingham, and Robinson. 

Alex Wright, Vice President of Wright’s Furniture & Flooring, spoke on the award.  He says local family-owned stores like his exist throughout the country, which speaks to the special nature of receiving this recognition.

With the business having four locations throughout central Illinois, he regularly visits each one to remain well connected to the staff.

Separate from the award, Wright’s Furniture & Flooring has launched a new fundraiser this year called “Trees For A Cause.”  A friend of Alex Wright’s in Canada provided the inspiration for this initiative. 

Wright’s has also recently begun to carry their own name-brand mattresses, which they market under the name “Wright Sleep.”
