The value home décor retailer opened three stores on Feb. 3: Nanuet, N.Y.; Johnstown, Col.; and Ocean Township, N.J. At Home will also open a store in San Jose, Calif., later this month.  

The new additions will give the retailer a total of 222 locations in 40 states by the end of February. The company plans to open 12 to 15 stores across the country this year.

With the success of the last three quarters, we continue to take significant market share and emerge as a major winner in the home décor space.”
