Jerry Epperson: "The furniture business needs better self esteem"

His given name is WW Epperson Jr., but to everyone in the furniture business, he’s simply “Jerry.” A consultant and 50-year veteran of the industry, Epperson is always ready with an optimistic take on where home is headed. The pandemic-inspired boom? Yes, it’ll recede, but the massive cohort of millennials getting into their homebuying years will keep up the momentum. Consolidation at the top? Yes, it’s happening, but independent retailers still have a huge part to play. Supply chain snarls? Yes, they’re bad, but manufacturing hubs are popping up all over the world.  In this episode of the show, Eppersen shares wisdom from five decades in the business, and insight on the present day with host Warren Shoulberg.
