The Healthy Back Store announced plans earlier this week to
close its East Tyson’s Virginia location as soon as Friday June 29, 2012. The store’s
manager Steven Faw is currently making preparations for final sales and a final
inventory push, which means if you are in the area this is a great opportunity to save big on our top brand mattresses, office chairs and massage chairs!
In 2008 the Healthy Back Store purchased assets of long time
local rival Joanne’s Bed & Back out of bankruptcy. The two chains had been
competitors since 1994 when Anthony Mazlish founded the Healthy Back Store. At
the time of the purchase, Healthy Back kept open nine of the Joanne’s store
locations and rebranded them, the East Tyson’s location being one of them.
The decision to close the East Tyson’s location is largely
due to its proximity to the Healthy Back Stores larger and more heavily visited
Tyson’s Corner store, which is located just 3 blocks down the street.
Ultimately East Tyson’s is a duplicate location. Current president and COO
Steve Urban, “We are confident that the Tyson’s Corner location will be able to
serve all of our loyal customers in the region in not only a larger space, but
offer a larger variety of comfort solutions.”
The Healthy Back store continues to have additional retaillocations including 6 stores in Maryland, eight in Virginia, two in North
Carolina, one in Colorado, and four locations in California. In addition, the
Healthy Back Store continues to serve its customers with a robust online
presence and knowledgeable customer service representatives in the call center.
Healthy Back is currently planning on opening new locations
over the next three years and is beginning the process of vetting potential locations
for these new stores. Healthy Back anticipates not only additional stores, but
refreshing and potentially remodeling existing locations like was done with the Littleton Colorado store.
