Published 12:44 pm Friday, November 4, 2011

Kent-based Sleep Country USA will expand by 14 stores with the acquisition of Mattress Outlet stores in Eastern Washington and Western Idaho.

Sleep Country, in its 20th year, will open stores in Ellensburg, Spokane, Yakima, Wenatchee, Richland, Kennewick, Moses Lake, Lewiston, and Coeur d’Alene.

The company brings customers a broad selection of brand-name mattresses backed by a 100-day money-back comfort guarantee, a 100-day price guarantee, and free, same-day delivery, including removal of the old mattress set, according to an Oct. 27 Sleep Country media release.

The new stores will open later this year, welcoming Mattress Outlet employees to join the employee-owned company and one of the Northwest’s most recognized brands.

Sleep Country will also expand its Foster Kids Program to the new markets, collecting important material items for foster children in its six annual drives.

“We are continually looking for strategic  growth opportunities that allow us to reach new communities,” said Dale Carlsen, CEO of Sleep Country USA. “Acquiring Mattress Outlet enables us to expand rapidly into a brand new region with over a dozen stores, bringing local customers quality sleep products and a superior shopping experience, along with the ability to give back to their own community by donating to our Foster Kids Program drives.”
