RJ “BOB” THOMAS
Owner / Operator

The furniture industry is in his blood...the fourth-generation of a furniture industry family, Bob has been a part of the furnishings business all of his life. Starting out in the family business, which was started by his great-grandfather in 1898, Bob went on to own his own retail furniture store years later. Other endeavors included working in the wholesale and manufacturing segments, prior to opening RJ Thomas, Ltd. in 2003.

His unique “combined” background in the retail and wholesale ends of the business led him to create a “designer-friendly” business model with innovative amenities such as “free inbound freight” and “subsidized receiving and delivery fees”.
