A New Chapter for The Sofa Bed Store

Hello, and welcome.

My name is Tristan Lockie, and in June 2026 I became the new owner of The Sofa Bed Store.

For more than 12 years, James Flynn and Shannon Demers have built a wonderful Canadian business known for its distinctive, exceptionally comfortable sofa beds and knowledgeable personal service. It is a privilege to take responsibility for what they have created and to lead The Sofa Bed Store into its next chapter.

While the ownership has changed, the qualities at the heart of the business have not. We remain proudly Canadian owned and operated, and our focus continues to be on excellent products, thoughtful advice and customer service that makes the entire experience frictionless and easy.

We want every customer to love their purchase.

Right from when it first arrives and for many years to come. This means helping you select the right sofa bed, being clear and responsive throughout the ordering and delivery process, and being here to support you long into the future.

If you recently placed an order, there is nothing you need to do. Your order remains important to us, and we are here to support you through its completion. Our relationship with James and Shannon remains strong, and our teams are working closely to ensure a smooth and responsible transition.

I am thoroughly enjoying getting to know our customers, our products and the communities we serve. We will build carefully on the company’s success by strengthening what already works, making it easier to shop with us and gradually introducing new ways for customers across Canada and the United States to discover The Sofa Bed Store.

We will remain a business that listens. Whether you are a returning customer, currently waiting for your new sofa bed, visiting us for the first time, or simply beginning your research, we are very pleased to have you here.

We have developed this Q&A bank for anything you may wish to ask or learn about as a result of the change of ownership.

Thank you for your support. I look forward to welcoming you to The Sofa Bed Store.

Owner

"After 12 years of building The Sofa Bed Store, it was very important to us that the business should pass to someone who values its customers, products and reputation.

We are delighted to support Tristan as he takes The Sofa Bed Store into its next chapter. We have been working closely with him throughout the transition and know that he is committed to building carefully on what we have created while continuing to provide the quality products and personal service our customers expect.

We are grateful to everyone who has supported The Sofa Bed Store over the years and look forward to seeing the business continue to grow under Tristan’s ownership."
