Ashley, the largest furniture store brand in North America, will officially open its newest retail store on Saturday, April 20, in Riverdale, Utah. The new 44,163 sq. ft. showroom is located at 4060 Riverdale Rd in Riverdale and will be Ashley’s sixth store in the state of Utah.
Ashley marked the occasion on Friday, April 12, with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by the Chamber of Commerce, Riverdale Mayor Braden Mitchell, and more. As a continuation of the celebration, Ashley will host a Grand Opening event on Saturday, April 20, at the new location.
The open-to-the-public event will feature photo moments, a live DJ, face painting, light refreshments from local vendors, gift bags, workshops, and highly coveted giveaway prizes drawn very hour. The first 50 guests in line will receive a free pair of Bose Headphones and one lucky winner will receive the Grand Prize item: a RadRunner 2 Electric Utility Bike. Workshops will include a create-your-own coffee station, a build-your-own sugar scrubs bar with Kore Herbals, and a customizable bath bomb station with Lit, Lather, and Lore.
“We’re excited for the Riverdale community to experience the shopping experience that Ashley customers know and love,” said Chris Wantlin, Chief Retail Officer, Ashley Global Retail. “We’ve been intentional about the way consumers experience Ashley in our brick-and-mortar stores featuring an all-new layout and product selection after our most recent rebrand. Ashley will continue to lead in retail innovation across all of our locations nationwide.”
As part of Ashley’s Beyond Home Promise, the brand’s initiative to make a positive impact in the communities it serves, the Riverdale store is proud to announce a donation of 40 beds to children in need within the community. This philanthropic effort was made possible through Ashley’s partnership with Hope to Dream, a non-profit organization that believes every child should have a good night’s sleep, and Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a non-profit organization that builds and delivers beds to children. This donation is one of many ways Ashley gives back to its local communities.
The store’s interior layout includes the newest Ashley 7.0 store concept with a simplified, bright, and open floor plan, and fresh construction elements. Customers can experience Ashley’s new mattress gallery featuring Ashley Sleep®, Tempur-Pedic®, and Purple® mattresses. The showroom features complete lifestyle vignettes, down to the final detail of lighting, rugs, and wall art. Product categories include bedroom, dining room, upholstery, leather, occasional tables, home office, youth bedroom, recliners, mattresses, and accessories.
The Riverdale store will employ approximately 18 people.
