Lumber Liquidators is packing up its corporate headquarters and warehousing operations in Richmond, Virginia, and heading to Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, in a move that ties the flooring retailer directly into the footprint of F9 Brands' Cabinets To Go operations in Lawrence County. The project, announced Tuesday, is slated to bring 76 jobs to the area and roughly $32.4 million in investment.
According to the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, the relocation will create 76 jobs and a $32.4 million investment in Lawrence County. In the state’s announcement, Gov. Bill Lee and company founder Tom Sullivan frame the consolidation as a supply chain play that will "improve the company’s supply chain operations by aligning shipping schedules and distribution efforts" with F9 Brands.
Why Lawrenceburg?
Company officials say the plan is to centralize corporate and distribution functions in Lawrenceburg in order to shorten delivery times and keep inventory closer to F9 Brands’ sister operations. In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the F9 group lists 2350 W O Smith Drive in Lawrenceburg as a principal business address, tying the new headquarters directly to F9's existing presence in the county.
From Richmond To Tennessee
LL Flooring, the business that operated as the public company before the F9 purchase, sold a large package of stores and assets in a 2024 bankruptcy sale, according to Richmond BizSense. Richmond coverage has long tracked the company’s corporate footprint at 4901 Bakers Mill Lane, while industry reporting, including CoStar, says the parent will gradually vacate that Richmond office as operations shift to Tennessee.
Local Impact
Local officials are treating the move as a logistics and jobs win, and the announcement comes with enthusiastic nods from county leaders and TVA representatives. The state release quotes Lawrence County leaders saying the project builds on Cabinets To Go’s existing operations and strengthens the region’s industrial and distribution base. More from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development underscores how Lawrenceburg is being positioned as a growing hub for home improvement supply chains.
Timeline And Next Steps
Industry coverage and company materials indicate that a new distribution hub on Motivation Drive is expected to begin operations in mid-2026, with the Lawrenceburg facility phasing in as pieces of the Richmond footprint wind down. Wood Floor Business reports that the distribution center is slated to open in June 2026, and company statements describe the overall shift as staggered rather than a one-and-done relocation.
The move returns a scaled corporate presence to the founder’s Tennessee base while folding national distribution into an existing regional hub. Company officials say the relocation will be gradual and that more operational details will roll out in the coming months. For now, the Lawrenceburg deal highlights a broader retail trend of pulling headquarters and warehouses under one roof to cut costs and speed deliveries, with a small Tennessee city suddenly sitting in the middle of that strategy.
