HOM FURNITURE TO OPEN 185,000 SQ. FT.
FURNISHINGS COMPLEX IN MINNESOTA
COON RAPIDS, MN – HOM Furniture is set to build its newest retail furnishings complex in Little Canada, MN. When completed in early 2015, the 185,000 sq. ft. complex will be the largest of its kind in the state of Minnesota, according to Jerry Underwood, executive director of marketing for HOM Furniture Brands. It will contain all three of the company's retail brands.
“This will be the first time we have combined all three of our brands in one complex,†said Underwood. “With great visibility and easy access from freeways 694 and 35E, this location offered a perfect site for a new retail destination. It truly will be the upper Midwest’s only one-stop destination for the largest selection in furniture price points and complete custom design solutions with our Gabberts brand now included.â€
Located on the site of the current Dock 86 showroom and warehouse near Rice Street and Little Canada Road, the complex will include a 80,000 sq. ft. HOM Furniture showroom, a 35,000 sq. ft. Gabberts Design Studio and Fine Furniture store, a 60,000 sq. ft. Dock 86 and a 10,000 sq. ft. customer service and product pick-up center.
Connie Post and Associates, a furniture industry design firm based in High Point, NC will design the interiors, and Archnet of Stillwater, MN, will provide the exterior design work.
The new complex is the latest step in the continued expansion of the HOM Furniture Brand, which includes 15 showrooms in Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota. The new Gabberts store will be the second in the metro area, joining the flagship store at the Galleria in Edina, and stores in Sioux City, Sioux Falls, and Fargo. Dock 86 currently has a location on the Little Canada site and also a store in Rogers, MN.
