At Home is leasing the space from U-Haul International, which purchased the 72,000-square-foot Dominick's and other shops in the strip mall earlier this year. At Home added on 11,000 square feet to the former Dominick's to make room for its store. U-Haul has also opened a retail space at the strip mall.

The At Home store is the fifth in Chicago area.

"As we strategically grow our national footprint, we are excited to open our fifth store in the Chicago market," said Lee Bird, At Home Chairman and CEO . "Our vast selection of on-trend styles is winning over home décor customers who want it all: value, variety and an inspiring, hands-on shopping experience."

Shoppers will find style ideas throughout the store, which is based on a warehouse model with continually updated items that showcase the latest trends and seasonal products, store officials said. An average of 400 new products arrive each week.

A new store open house will be held on Saturday, Feb. 16, beginning at 9 a.m. The open house will include gift card giveaways for the first 50 people who visit the store and sign up for At Home Insider Perks.
