Sleepy's company history timeline

1957

In 1957, two years after his father's death, Acker opened Bedding Discount Center, a 1,100-square-foot Brooklyn store.

1990

In 1990 the agency filed suit against Sleepy's in state court, charging that the firm advertised 'sales' that continued for months--meaning, in effect, according to the agency, that the sale price was the same as the regular price.

1994

Sleepy's had moved its headquarters from New Hyde Park to Port Washington by 1994, when it announced it would move again, to a newly purchased facility in Bethpage, another Long Island community.

1998

A rigorous three-week sales training program--four weeks by 1998--was in place for new hires.

Sleepy's also had entered the Philadelphia area, with as many as 30 stores opened there in 1998.
