Welcome to another episode of Covered by NewLeaf, where we dive into the world of service contracts and retail excellence. In this episode, host Sean Hicks, CEO of NewLeaf Service Contracts, sits down with Pete Theran, the CEO of the Home Furnishings Association (HFA).
Theran shares his extensive journey as a "career retailer," from his early days in the Macy’s executive training program and serving as a float participant in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to leading Boston Interiors and the Bose Corporation retail division. Now at the helm of the HFA, Theran discusses the association's mission to be "indispensable" to furniture retailers of all sizes.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
- The HFA Mission: How the association serves over 10,000 storefronts through education, qualifying industry partners, and government relations.
