The company has changed names many times and the current name is a combination of two brands that were merged back in the day.  Why not just use one of the prior names.  My personal pick would be the original name that the Davis Family started under, Table Supply Co.

I like the sound of Table Supply Company.

They could revert to their immediate preceding name of Winn-Lovett, used until 1955 when they acquired the Dixie Home store chain:

QuoteIn 1939, the Davis brothers bought 51 percent of Winn & Lovett, a chain of 73 stores. In 1944, the brothers bought the remainder of Winn & Lovett and merged the two chains under the Winn & Lovett name. The company headquarters moved to Jacksonville. Winn & Lovett purchased the Steiden Stores chain of 31 stores in Kentucky in 1945 as well as Margaret Ann Stores, with 46 stores in Florida, in 1949. In 1952, Winn & Lovett became the first industrial corporation based in Florida to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).[7]
