INDIANAPOLIS — A national retail store is closing all of its central Indiana locations.
The RoomPlace, a Chicago-based furniture retail outlet, has decided to close its Indy stores in hopes of strengthening its 18 Chicago-area stores.
“As a family-run business with strong community ties, it’s not an easy decision to close stores and impact the people who work, shop and live in the affected communities,” said Bruce Berman, CEO of The RoomPlace. “Retail sales throughout the country continue to be down, and our industry has been hit hard. We’re making the tough decisions now to ensure we’re around for another 100 years.”
For the 18 remaining Chicago-area locations, the stores will remain open with normal hours.
Existing orders placed prior to Feb. 2 will be fulfilled as promised, The RoomPlace confirmed in a news release.
“We are determined to become better and stronger in Chicagoland by continuing to offer consumers the largest selection of stylish brands at the market’s best prices,” Berman said.
Here is a list of the locations closing around Indy:
