Sleep Number Opens 500th U.S. Store

Newest store in Eden Prairie, Minnesota is number 500

MINNEAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tomorrow Select Comfort will mark a major retail milestone by opening
its 500th Sleep Number® store. Located in Eden Prairie,
Minn., the store features the latest store design and experience, which
is interactive, educational and distinctly different than other
retailers. The company’s presence has evolved from a small kiosk in
Rosedale mall in the Twin Cities in 1992 to a retailer with a national
store footprint and products exclusively sold through Sleep Number
stores and sleepnumber.com.


“Opening our 500th store is a significant milestone for our company,”
said Andy Carlin, Select Comfort executive vice president and chief
sales and services officer. “Offering customers exclusive products sold
only through our company-owned stores and sleepnumber.com
is an advantage unique to Sleep Number. Our retail investments over the
last several years have been balanced between investing in our existing
stores and adding new locations as we have developed markets across the
country. Our portfolio of stores is very healthy, with the vast majority
being less than five years old. The Twin Cities is our home market and
with the growth of the southwestern metro area, our new Eden Prairie
store is perfectly positioned to serve those customers.”

Investing in its retail stores has been a key priority for the company
over the past five years. About half of Sleep Number stores are in
non-mall locations and the other half in productive malls across the
country. In 2016, the company expects to open nearly 50 net new stores.
Sleep Number’s retail productivity of approximately $1,000 per square
foot remains top ten among U.S. specialty retailers and is driven by a
differentiated store experience with a modern store design. For the
second year in a row, Sleep Number was recognized with the Silver
Outstanding International Store Design Award from the Association of
Retail Environments.
