Kent-based Sleep Country USA announced last week the opening of two new Medford, Ore., stores – a new market for the company.

Sleep Country now has 82 stores in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.

“Medford is one of the top metro areas in Oregon and acts as the economic hub for hundreds of thousands of people in Southern Oregon and Northern California,” said Terry Horsley, vice president of brand strategy. “We’re also happy to be expanding our Foster Kids Program to serve the region’s local foster children by providing an outlet for the community to give back and make a direct impact in their neighborhoods.”
