A franchised Art Van Furniture location will open in Gaylord, Mich., the weekend of May 30.
The store will be operated by franchise owners Julie and Bruce Dietz of Alpena, who will co-manage the location with their son, Justin Dietz.
The newly renovated, 18,000-square-foot Art Van Furniture store will add approximately 20 new jobs to the community.
"Bruce's primary goal when he built this property over a dozen years ago was to create a thriving retail destination for shoppers," said Art Van Elslander, founder and chairman of Art Van Furniture, Warren, Mich. "We are excited to play an integral role in the revitalization of the center and to further cement our presence in northern Michigan."
