Ashley Cos., Arcadia, Wis., has rented 50,000 square feet of warehouse space in Bakersfield, Calif., to support delivery to customers of a troubled Ashley Furniture HomeStore there, KERO-TV reported Friday.

In the report Ashley, which could lose several hundred thousand dollars in fulfilling orders from the store, said it wants to maintain customer confidence in the Ashley name. Ashley is looking for a new owner of the store, which filed for bankruptcy last year.

Customers already are receiving orders, and Ashley expects all customers to receive their merchandise by April 24.
