City Furniture is opening its new Ashley Furniture HomeStore location in the Mall at Wellington Green and rolling out a new design look for its Pembroke Pines City Furniture showroom. As it celebrates the opening of both stores, South Florida’s top-selling furniture retailer is donating a portion of the first-month sales at the two locations to its long-time community partner, Habitat for Humanity.

“We’re delighted to spotlight the fresh, new shopping experience at each of these locations and to continue growing our partnership with Habitat for Humanity affiliates in the markets we serve,” said Robert Ruiz, City Furniture vice president of store design and environment.

City Furniture relocated its established Ashley Furniture HomeStore store to adjacent space within the Mall at Wellington Green to facilitate the Mall’s addition of a movie theater. The retailer is Southeast and Southwest Florida licensee for Ashley Furniture HomeStores. Beautifully designed with upscale finishes and fixtures, the new 25,000-square-foot showroom is the first in South Florida built to Ashley Furniture HomeStore’s bright, airy “Generation 6” design standards and boutique feel. With vintage market, contemporary living, “urbanology,” and other lifestyle display areas, the store features a wide range of furniture styles and home accents, along with an extensive bedding selection. With the $1.1 million renovation completed in early January, the retailer moved into the new space without any interruption in business.

At the City Furniture Pembroke Pines showroom, 11249 Pines Blvd., a $2 million interior renovation and exterior upgrade has enhanced the 58,659-square-foot store to showcase the next-generation interior design found in City Furniture’s newest locations throughout Southeast, Southwest and Central Florida. Dramatic energy efficient lighting, expanses of glass, new flooring, wall covering and sleek fixtures create a bright, up-tempo backdrop for the store’s contemporary, Florida casual and traditional furnishings. The store was in full operation throughout the renovation, with contractor Miller Construction Company’s crews phasing the work to prevent inconvenience to customers and store staff.

Habitat for Humanity of Broward’s relationship with City Furniture has been a mainstay for 15 years, with the Broward-based company’s ongoing donations of furniture products to Habitat for Humanity of Broward’s home improvement ReStore in Fort Lauderdale making it one of the organization’s largest corporate supporters. City Furniture has previously benefited Habitat for Humanity of Palm Beach County with the grand opening of the expanded City Furniture showroom in West Palm Beach.

 The Wellington and Pembroke Pines construction projects are the latest steps in enhancing and upgrading the retailer’s network of 15 City Furniture and 11 Ashley Furniture HomeStore locations. For information visit www.cityfurniture.com.
