“We are truly thrilled! The entire team went all in on this one, because this is a brand we all know. We’ve found ourselves in this really unique spot, where we’re working with these amazing heritage brands, who are just ready for their next evolution. Nothing is broken, they are just ready to UnThink things,” said Con Williamson, president and chief creative officer at EP+Co. “We feel extremely lucky to be able to play a part in this next big step forward for Havertys. Plus, the entire brand team turned out to just be really good people. So this is definitely a win-win.”

“Every step of the way, EP+Co showed a genuine enthusiasm for this opportunity and for our business.
