Plano, Texas — At Home, The Home Décor Superstore, opened its 250th store on June 15 in Amherst, N.Y. It is also the company’s first location in the Buffalo market. The store’s grand opening will take place on July 2.
“Today’s milestone is a significant step toward our long term potential to grow the brand, increase market share and strengthen our position as the leading retailer of home décor,” says Lee Bird, chairman and CEO. “We continue to strategically expand our footprint across the country and are on track to grow to at least 700 stores nationally.”
The majority of At Home’s locations are second-generation retail. The company looks for stores in high-traffic retail nodes adjacent to other best-in-class retailers, with great access and near its core customers.
At Home sells up to 45,000 home décor items for every room, every style and every budget — from furniture, rugs, wall art and housewares to tabletop, patio and holiday décor — in stores averaging just over 100,000 square feet.
