Article Abstract:

Levitz Furniture has appointed Ed Grund chairman and chief executive officer on December 1998, replacing Michael Bozic, who left the furniture retailer to become Kmart's vice chairman. Grund, who joined the retailer in May 1998 as president of store operations, will oversee the firm's management restructuring and the launching of a prototype store in Phoenix, Arizona. Under Grund, the firm hopes to recover from its losses, which reached $52 million for the first six months of fiscal year 1999.
