Bob’s Discount Furniture to Open in Avon

On Friday, May 24, Bob’s Discount Furniture, the 8th largest U.S. furniture chain according to Furniture Today with 174 stores across 24 states and over $2B in annual sales will open its newest store in Avon, Indiana. According to Cody Blakemore, regional store manager at Bob’s, the new store is located at 10695 US-36 and will provide the community with between 30 and 50 new jobs and offer 30,059 square feet of merchandise for consumers to choose from.

The Grand Opening on the 24th will have a ribbon cutting, Avon dignitaries, including Council member Greg Zusan and Council Member at Large Robert Pope. As part of the company’s commitment to giving back to the community, Bob’s will be donating $2,500 to Active Grace (supporting veterans and families experiencing homelessness) and $2,500 to George Washington High School. Ryan Chapman, Executive Director from Active Grace and Gary Carter, Assistant Principal from George Washington High School will attend the grand opening as well.

The event will feature entertainment for the kids and there will be an on-the-house café with free snacks for all inside.

“Bob’s makes furniture available and affordable to everyone, regardless of your budget,” said Cody. “We pride ourselves on always having the best values in the market for furniture and we do it without sales or gimmicks.”

A new trend visitors can expect to see at the store includes furniture that incorporates technology, such as reclining sofas with LED lights, built-in charging stations, power reclining capabilities, and furniture designed to accommodate remote work. Multipurpose furniture is also increasingly popular, as consumers expect their furniture to work harder for them due to hybrid work schedules that have changed the way we eat, sleep and work at home. Health and wellness are also factoring into furniture decisions today, which is reflected in furniture that incorporates massage features into sofas, chairs as well as innovative mattresses and mattress foundations to ensure a good night’s sleep.

When asked about today’s consumer spending environment, Cody said, “We are proud to offer stylish furniture at affordable prices for everyone. For example, we’re equally proud of the quality and value of our mid-century style Bettie sofa collection starting at $499 for the loveseat, as we are of our wildly popular and luxurious Milan power reclining sectional that caps at $5,299.”

Bob’s offers furniture for living rooms, bedrooms, kid’s rooms, dining rooms, home offices, and outdoor patios. They also have mattresses and mattress accessories, including bed frames, box springs and foundations, and other home décor items, such as pillows, rugs, bedding, lamps, mirrors, and framed artwork.

Founded in 1991, Bob’s Discount Furniture is one of the fastest growing furniture retailers in the country.

“In 2023, we were named by Newsweek as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces as well as the 8th largest furniture retailer in the U.S by Furniture Today,” Cody said.
