Classic Sleep Products, which has headquarters in Jessup, Md., has hired retail veteran Harry Goodman as vice president of Northeastern sales, a newly created position. Classic Sleep produces and markets the Dormia, Natural Expressions and Space Age brands.
Previously, Goodman was vice president of sales for retailer Sleepy’s. Prior to that, he was area manager for Fabric Bonanza and a regional sales manager for Big & Tall Shops. He reports to Justin Gannon, Classic Sleep vice president of sales, who also recently joined the company. Gannon previously led merchandising and marketing efforts for Mattress Discounters.
