Furniture retailer LifeStyles Furniture of Moline, Ill., will expand and relocate to a new 12,000-square-foot retail store in Davenport, Iowa, this summer.

The tentative move-in date is scheduled for July 1. LifeStyles opened in 1991 in Moline and had a second smaller location in Davenport for a brief time. In 2006, new ownership bought the retail establishment and changed the focus to entirely contemporary and high-end Scandinavian lines. In addition, they expanded the existing online business. LifeStylesFurniture.com, along with another company owned by the same group, PlatformBeds.com, are national sellers of furniture online, shipping furniture across the country.

"Up until now, we've had furniture in our warehouse that we've sold through the Web site that we didn't even have room to display on our showroom floor," said Brian Banks, president of Triunity Interests, the parent company of the retail stores. "We'll now have two floors of fine furniture available to our local clients. They'll now have choices of furniture that they probably have never seen before unless they've been to our website. We will be expanding our in-store selection in all of the lines we carry and are currently negotiating with other manufacturers to add their brands after we move in."

The relocation to Davenport's Walnut Center also means a facelift for the facility.

"We're returning to the look of the original Walnut Center with the exposed beams and high ceilings," Banks said. "It will be reminiscent of the Chalet facility back when it occupied the space, but with some contemporary additions."

LifeStyles carries a wide assortment of leather and fabric sofas and chairs, dining room tables and chairs, bedroom sets, art and accessories.
