Trade in worn flags at Art Van Furniture stores

Art Van Furniture will proudly pledge its allegiance to its customers and the country in celebration of the Fourth of July again this year.

As part of the Midwest's No. 1 furniture and mattress retailer's annual Flag Exchange Program, the public is invited to trade in their used Old Glories for new 3-by-5-foot American flags at all Art Van Furniture locations Thursday, July 4.

Art Van Furniture will retire the old flags and respectfully dispose of them in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code.

"Art Van is an American company that has been serving families for 60 years," said Ron Boire, president and CEO of Art Van Furniture. "We want everyone to be able to proudly display the symbol of our country's freedom on their front porches and in their backyards."

Worn, faded or torn American flags can be traded in for new flags at every Art Van Furniture showroom in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa and Missouri, while supplies last. Guests should visit artvan.com/flag to receive a voucher code. The retailer has given away more than 40,000 flags since the program began in 2017.
