At Emerald Home, we’re committed to family. And family’s not just the folks who might sit around our dinner table—family includes those we work with and live near too. Each year Emerald Home donates time, resources, and furniture to help support local organizations. Because it’s important to share with family. Started in 1962 as B&D Sales by Bond and Doug Shippy, the company distributed bed frames and unfinished furniture. In 1974, George Ritchie (a company representative at that time) purchased the business. The company was incorporated in 1977 and continued to grow, adding a number of additional product lines. Evan Ritchie purchased the company from his father in 1986, starting a whirlwind of growth. In 1990, Evan purchased a mattress factory, Perfect Rest Bedding, and in 1993 he added an import division known as Emerald Home Furnishings. Ownership changed in March of 2002, and David Beckmann led as CEO.
