Ashley HomeStore celebrated the grand opening of its 600th store — in Hanoi, Vietnam. The fast-growing furniture store brand has added more than 50 new HomeStores worldwide this year and is planning to open more than 100 additional locations in 2016.



"It's fitting that the 600th Ashley HomeStore is opening outside of the United States," said Todd Wanek, president and CEO of Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. "We are experiencing tremendous international momentum with the Ashley HomeStore brand and we look forward to its continued growth in the New Year and beyond."



Chuck Spang, Ashley's president of International Sales, added: "The Ashley HomeStore licensee program's success in various regions around the world including Asia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East; and North, Central and South America is a testament to its global appeal."



Ashley currently has 600 locations in 28 countries.
