The president of iconic New England retailer Jordan’s Furnishings is giving up his seat on the head of the desk.
Eliot Tatelman, the self-described Jordan’s mascot eternally ingrained in New Englanders’ reminiscences along with his quirky commercials and wild giveaways, introduced that he’s stepping down from the corporate and handing the reins over to his two sons, in keeping with WCVB.
“Being part of this company has been one of the greatest joys of my life,” Tatelman mentioned in a press release, in keeping with the outlet.
“From the early days working alongside my brother Barry to becoming a brand people know and trust, Jordan’s has always stood for family, community and customer experience.”
Jordan’s Furnishings was based by Tatelman’s grandfather in 1918 and at present operates eight shops throughout New England, together with two in Connecticut.
Day-to-day operations of the 107-year-old model will now fall to Tatelman’s sons Josh and Michael, who’ve been co-CEOs of Jordan’s since 2019.
Tatelman mentioned his departure from the enterprise facet of Jordan’s after a long time of service just isn’t a whole goodbye to the corporate.
“I’m like the mascot of Jordan’s. I’m like the Wally of the Red Sox. I mean, that’s who I am,” he advised the outlet.
Jordan’s Furnishings is a subsidiary of Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway.
