Lumber Liquidators, the largest specialty retailer of hardwood flooring in North America, will relocate its headquarters and call center to Henrico’s Libbie Mill community, officials announced earlier this week. The company, currently headquartered in Toano near Williamsburg, plans to upfit 52,900 square feet at 2250 Staples Mill Road.
Lumber Liquidators has locations in 46 states and Canada and employs more than 2,000 people. Approximately 200 people will relocate to the new Henrico location.
“We look forward to expanding our presence in Henrico County, and benefitting from bringing the corporate team together in one location,” said Dennis Knowles, chief executive officer of Lumber Liquidators. “We are excited about the future of the company and the benefits that these changes will bring to our shareholders and our employees."
Greater Richmond Partnership officials began discussions with the company in 2012 to review strategies in considering the Richmond region for a corporate location. Lumber Liquidators considered a number of locations, including North Carolina. The company has operated a 1-million-square-foot distribution center in Henrico County since 2013.
“We are pleased that Lumber Liquidators has decided to locate its headquarters in Henrico’s mid-town neighborhood,” said Henrico Board of Supervisors Chairman Frank Thornton. “We thank Lumber Liquidators for their continued confidence in Henrico; we know this is a location where they will grow and prosper.”
