Hampton, Va.-based Roberts Furniture & Mattresses has opened its fifth store in Winchester, Va., the Northern Virginia Daily reported Wednesday.

The location, Roberts' first outside Virginia's Tidewater area, is the site of a former Sofas & Seats store that closed several months ago.

"In these times it's kind of unusual ... you hear so much about people closing businesses that it's kinda nice to hear [about openings]," Store Manager Cliff Wainwright said in the report.

Roberts carries "mid-line" and "value-priced" furniture, with sofas ranging from $400 to $900, he said. The business represents nationally known manufacturers such as Ashley, and approximately one-third of its products can be custom-ordered, he said. The company also carries well-known mattress brands, Wainwright said.

The 50-year-old family-owned business also has stores in Newport News and Gloucester in addition to Hampton.
