WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Twin Cities-based furniture and home furnishings retailer HOM Furniture has made it official.
They’ll be taking over the previous Younkers space in the Wausau Center Mall with an eye towards opening their 17th location in the spring of 2019.
“Bringing HOM Furniture to Wausau is long overdue, but we believe it will be well worth the time we spent to secure the appropriate space,” said HOM President and CEO Rodney Johansen. “Wausau Center Mall is a perfect location well within our distribution network, and will allow HOM Furniture to offer our industry-leading product assortments with all of our fine brands, exciting products and custom design solutions for years to come.”
Wendy Sedlacek, media relations for the furniture brand said the Younkers space is what attracted HOM Furniture to the area this year. “It was real estate. The real estate became available so we were able to make a move and move into the Wausau market.”
HOM Furniture brands include World Rugs, Seasonal Concepts Patio, Sleep Express, and Bargain Shop. Some of these brands do sell Wisconsin area products as Sedlacek explains, “We will be carrying some local furniture. We will be carrying Witmer out of Abbostford Wisconsin. We’ll also be carrying Ashley in our Bargin Shop along with some handmade Amish furniture as well.”
HOM also boasts locations in both North and South Dakota along with Minnesota, Iowa, and two other locations in Wisconsin (Eau Claire and Onalaska).
