About J.H. Carr & Sons, LLC?

J.H. Carr has been a leader in the hospitality industry since it was founded by James and Louise Carr in 1938 in Seattle, Washington. The Carr brand is recognized throughout the Pacific Northwest for its stylish upholstery designs that have filled eating establishments for over seven decades.

J.H. Carr’s upholstered booth product line sets the trend and the bar for the competition. Ownership was transitioned from mother and father to sons Jerry and James Carr in 1981. Approaching the age of retirement, the Carr brothers sold the business to Waymar Industries in 2008. The acquisition of J.H Carr located in Kent, Washington, was a first important step for Waymar to be the consolidator within the framework of the fragmented marketplace.

J.H. Carr maintains a strong regional presence in the Pacific Northwest. Partnering under the Waymar Companies umbrella, J.H. Carr is now a nationwide provider of hospitality furnishings.

J.H. Carr employs a diverse workforce, with over 30 employees at its Kent, Washington location.
