Kittle’s Furniture Opens New Bassett Store

By Home Furnishings Business in Store Openings on April 24, 2013

Kittle€™s Home Furnishings has opened a new Bassett Home Furnishings Store near the Tuttle Crossing Shopping Center in Dublin, Ohio.

The new store is in a 15,000-square-foot retail space formerly occupied by Rooms Express.

The Bassett Store has a focused commitment to stylish, well-priced custom furniture and includes the HGTV Home Design Studio and HGTV Home-branded custom upholstery. The new store features complimentary room makeover assistance provided by a team of highly skilled designers.

Bassett's custom-upholstered sofas, sectionals, beds, ottomans and benches are made in the United States, are available in more than 1000 fabrics and leathers, and are delivered within 30 days. The store also features most of Bassett€™s best-selling bedroom and dining room collections, custom dining, living room tables, and home entertainment styles.

€œThis strategic partnership between Kittle€™s and Bassett Furniture just makes perfect sense, as our companies share the same commitments to quality, value and customer service," said Kittle€™s Home Furnishings President and CEO Eric Easter. "This store location was an ideal fit for a Bassett furniture store, and will fill a much needed niche in the Columbus market.€ 

 Kittle€™s Home Furnishings operates 12 stores in Indiana and Ohio.
