La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries, 4905 Forest Drive: Feb 2009 9 comments
When I was growing up, my grandmother had a La-Z-Boy, as did two aunts. We kids always loved to get into them, lever out the footrest and throw ourselves backwards, listening to the chair ratchet up. When my sister moved out, she got one for herself, and I finally took the opportunity to get one for myself a few years ago.
In the event, I find that I spend more time sitting in front of this computer than in my comfortable recliner, but still it's nice to finally have a good chair. I picked it out at this outlet on Forest Drive, just down from Trenholm Plaza heading towards Fort Jackson, and they delivered and assembled it with no drama. There were a number of contractors working in the building today, so I suppose it is going to have a new life as something though I didn't see any indication as to what. I'm also not sure what happened to La-Z-Boy itself. I'd guess another casualty of the housing crash -- you most often need new furniture for a new house, otherwise you can live with the pieces you have for a while longer.
UPDATE 20 April 2009:
As Mrs. SK notes below, Tuesday Morning is here.
It's interesting that they came back this close to Trenholm Plaza. That makes me guess they were shown the door there as part of the plaza upgrade rather than just not being viable there as I had initially thought.
UPDATE 18 May 2023: Updating tags and adding map icon.

Unfortunate for Some, "Franchise" Owners of La-Z-Boy Galleries, they are unable to weather the financial downtrend. Though know that La-Z-Boy theManufacturer and Inventor of the most comfortable recliner on the planet is not Closing. "Comfort is what we do!" and we have many who need this comfort, especially in today's market. And as with many manufacturer's
after 82 years of hard work our innovation has opened many more ways we can provide it!Mark

In the late 70's this was an Ethan Allen furniture store, I worked as a delivery driver there. At that time the Lazy Boy shop was a few doors down closer to town same side of the road. A Mr. Bob Brown owned them both and had a Ethan Allen store in Augusta as well.

Originally this was an Ethan Allen furniture store that opened in the late 60s-early 70s. My parents bought a whole bunch of furniture from them, all of which is still owned by them, me or my brother and most of it is still in great shape and has withstood the test of time.
I hope Lazy-Boy is not going out of business as I have one myself which is easily my favorite chair.
