Vermont Furniture Galleries in Williston, Vt., will switch to an Ashley Furniture HomeStore format by June, the Burlington Free Press reported Wednesday.

"When we analyzed the data, we determined that our location and business philosophy was perfectly suited to operating an Ashley Furniture HomeStore in Williston," Store Manager Laurie LaDuke said. "When all of the factors were taken into account, it gives us the opportunity to offer customers a high value, one-stop solution to their home furnishing needs.

LaDuke added that all existing staff will be retained and a number of new jobs will result from the change.
