Robb & Stucky International is expanding to Naples, Fla., after opening its flagship showroom in Fort Myers, Fla., in January.

The company broke ground last week, unveiling plans for a new 60,000-square-foot, two-level showroom in downtown Naples, Fla. The building's architectural design is transitional West Indies, designed to integrate within the existing architecture in downtown Naples. The Naples store will be the second Robb & Stucky International showroom to open under the company's new ownership and will bring 30 new jobs to the region.

"We are looking forward to joining the Naples community and to providing our expert interior design services and the finest merchandise and accessories from the world's leading manufacturers and designers to an expanded customer base," said Steven Lush, president of Robb & Stucky International. "Since opening the Fort Myers showroom, Robb & Stucky International has been well-received by our clientele. We are consistently exceeding our sales projections and look forward to continued growth."

Construction of the new building will begin immediately. MHK Architecture & Planning is the architectural firm and DeAngelis Diamond Construction, Inc. is the builder.

"We are excited about creating a beautiful new building in downtown Naples, and bringing new jobs and economic growth to the community," Lush said. "From a design standpoint, we wanted a building that had a 'Florida' feel to it, but also one that reflected changes in today's lifestyle-more relaxed and slightly more casual." 

The store will features six distinct lifestyles, each one offering an exploration into a different design perspective, Lush said. The store's interior will be bright with a lot of natural light. 

"The layout is open, making it a fun and easy store to shop," he said. "We think the store will offer a unique experience; there will be nothing else quite like in Florida or anywhere else in the country."

The company anticipates completion of the project in the fourth quarter of 2012, with a grand opening planned for early 2013. Robb & Stucky continues to search for additional locations in Florida.
