Ashley Furniture Will Remain Open While Remodeling Space At Mall

Ashley Furniture Homestore, known for classic home furnishings and décor, is updating its store design — just in time for the approaching fall shopping season at the Mall at Wellington Green.

“The Mall at Wellington Green is proud to be Wellington’s go-to location for shopping, and we are very excited for the new design, layout and location for Ashley Furniture Homestore,” said Rachelle Crain, the mall’s marketing director.

Construction started in July at the City Furniture-owned Ashley Furniture Homestore. The three-and-a-half month remodel will improve the store’s layout, functionality and design. Throughout the process, the store will remain open, and guests are asked to use the south-facing entrance to shop for their favorite sofas, chairs, dining sets and accessories for their homes. Guests will be able to access Ashley Furniture Homestore through an upgraded exterior entrance once the remodeling is complete in mid-October.

“Wellington Green has been a terrific location for us, and we’re thrilled to debut a new layout for our visitors,” said Robert Ruiz, vice president of store design and environments. “With a dedicated store that will no longer be a mall entrance, the shopping experience will be enhanced. The new lifestyle-driven layout will be divided into easy-to-shop vignettes, such as Urbanology, Vintage Casual, Contemporary, Traditional, Youth and Mattress.”

Shortly after the Ashley Furniture Homestore’s remodeling project is complete, Wellington Green shoppers will begin seeing the development of a new, 10-screen, 1,200-seat movie theater and wine bar scheduled to open in the fall of 2016.

The Ashley Furniture Homestore remodeling process is taking place after hours when the mall is closed.

Employing more than 1,300 associates, City Furniture has 15 showrooms in its network. As the Ashley Furniture Homestore licensee in southeast and southwest Florida, it owns and operates 11 Ashley Furniture Homestore locations.

The mall’s two levels feature 160-plus stores and restaurants, with dining options ranging from fast food to more formal restaurants. For more information, visit www.shopwellingtongreen.com.
