 | | Hooker Furniture Corporate Headquarters
440 E. Commonwealth Blvd., Martinsville, Virginia |
In 1925, four-year-old Clyde Hooker, Jr. pulled the cord on the steam whistle that signaled the first work day at Hooker Furniture. In his 40 years leading the company, Clyde's remarkable dedication to the pursuit of making stylish, beautiful, well-made furniture propelled the company to become one of the nation's premier manufacturers and importers of furniture.
In 2000, Clyde passed the torch of leadership to Paul B. Toms, Jr., grandson of the company's founder, making Hooker one of the few furniture firms still led by a member of the founding family. Today, Hooker is recognized as one of the nation's leading furniture companies.
At Hooker Furniture, our mission is to enrich the lives of the people we touch through innovative home furnishings of exceptional value. The core values we stand for as a company are: integrity, listening, caring, innovation, service, responsibility, citizenship and honesty.

The company is known for its leadership in offering the highest-quality furniture at the medium-to-upper medium price points.
