By maintaining a focus on affordable, high-quality items and giving back, Walker’s has become a leader in the local business community
For over 45 years, Walker’s Furniture & Mattress has been a trusted name in the Inland Northwest, providing quality furniture at affordable prices. Still proudly family-owned, Walker’s has grown to 13 store locations across Eastern Washington, North Idaho, and Northeast Oregon — but their values remain deeply rooted in community and customer care.
“We’ve grown to a size that allows us to order in bulk and offer really good quality at affordable prices,” says Managing Director John Proffitt. “It’s a great balance — we’re big enough to buy in volume, but still small enough to stay community-focused and be flexible to meet the unique needs of our customers.”
As markets shift and prices fluctuate, Walker’s has adapted by partnering with a broader range of manufacturers — ensuring they can continue to deliver great style and comfort at fair prices. Proffitt also notes that they support American-made products which helps the company reduce lead times while reinforcing local economies.
Beyond furniture, Walker’s continues to invest in the communities it serves. Each year, the company hosts a charity initiative, Walker’s Cares, donating a portion of that year’s sales to local organizations selected by each store. This year, the initiative featured local collegiate athlete Ben Gregg, who helped bring visibility to the charitable causes.
“Ben and our other athlete partners have been fantastic advocates,” says Proffitt. “They’ve really helped shine a light on the meaningful work these nonprofits are doing across our region.”
Despite continued growth, Walker’s remains committed to its founding mission. “When Mark Walker started the business, his goal was simple,” Proffitt reflects. “To be a resource for his community — and that’s still what drives us every day.”
