Davenport, Iowa — Von Maur Department Store is undergoing an extensive, multi-phased renovation of its brick-and-mortar locations over the next 5 years. The retailer will invest more than $100 million to showcase an entirely new interior aesthetic as the 152-year-old company continues to prioritize the shopping experience for its customers.
“As Von Maur has grown, new stores have evolved to reflect the trends present in residential design. It is important that we reinvest in our existing locations and bring those same updates to the customers that have been the bedrock of our success,” says Jim von Maur, president of Von Maur.
Renovations are currently underway at Towne East Square (Wichita, Kan.); Jefferson Point Shopping Center (Fort Wayne, Ind.); Westroads Mall (Omaha, Neb.), Laurel Park Place (Livonia, Mich.), Oxmoor Center (Louisville, Ky.), Corbin Park (Overland Park, Kan.), and Hickory Point Mall (Forsyth, Ill.).
Long known for their signature wide aisles, soft seating arrangements and open floor plans, Von Maur will refurbish their current stores using white and cream tones, mixed with warm woods and modern lighting. The updated look will allow the merchandise to be the focus.
Adds von Maur: “One thing that isn’t changing is our commitment to superior customer service that includes our interest-free charge card, complimentary gift wrapping and shipping services.”
This announcement follows Von Maur’s previously announced plans for new locations at South Hills Village in Pittsburgh (fall 2024) and at West Acres Mall in Fargo, N.D. (spring 2025).
Von Maur was founded in 1872 in downtown Davenport, Iowa. The company currently operates 37 stores in 15 states, along with a 120,000-square-foot e-commerce facility. For more information, visit www.vonmaur.com.
