Midwest home furnishings retailer expanding

The RoomPlace growing its store portfolio.



The family-owned company has opened a new showroom and warehouse distribution center in Indianapolis. The location is part of a strategic initiative to expand the furniture retailer's footprint in the city.



The new outpost also marks The RoomPlace's 25th store, with locations across Illinois and Indiana. It is one of the company's largest, at over 70,000 sq. ft. features a 16,000-sq.-ft. clearance center.



"We are always working towards ways to provide our customers with better services and selection, and our new store and distribution center achieves those goals," said Paul Adams, CEO at The RoomPlace, which is based in Lombard, Ill.



The new store is in a building that formerly housed Levitz Furniture. It had been vacant for over 15 years. The property is owned by Sandor, a privately held shopping center developer.
