Rooms to Go to open massive furniture complex in N.C.

Rooms to Go is cutting the ribbon this weekend on the largest retail furniture store in the Southeastern United States.

The Florida-based retailer will open a Rooms to Go Super Center and Distribution Center on Oct. 17 in Dunn, N.C. The newly built facility comprises approximately 1,450,000 square feet on 120 acres and houses a state of the art Rooms to Go showroom, a Rooms to Go Kids/Teens showroom, a Rooms to Go Outlet Center and a huge distribution center housing tens of thousands of pieces of furniture.

"We are thrilled with the reception we've received in Dunn, Harnett County and throughout the wonderful State of North Carolina. We intend to be a vibrant contributor to the community for years to come. Not only will we continue to offer the very best of Rooms to Go style, quality and value but now with our new state of the art distribution facility, we'll be able to do it even faster and better," said Jeffrey Seaman, CEO, Rooms to Go. "This amazing facility will allow us to provide our customers with the largest inventory of home furnishings in the Southeast and add hundreds of new people to the Rooms to Go family."

The Dunn Super Center and Distribution Center will create approximately 400 new jobs for area residents. In addition to serving consumers in the new Dunn stores, the state of the art distribution center is over 1.3 million square feet under one roof and will service Rooms to Go stores and customers throughout the Carolinas and the I-95 corridor.
