Bob's Discount Furniture is celebrating the opening of four stores in the Pittsburgh and Maryland markets by donating more than $50,000 to local charities and schools.
In addition to the new stores, the retailer has relocating its Seabrook, N.H. store. After opening more than a dozen new stores during the past two years, Bob's will now have 61 stores in 11 states across the East Coast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with additional expansion planned for 2016.
Grand opening events will be hosted throughout the weekend at the four new locations and the relocated store.
"Expansion for us doesn't just mean new stores, it also means we're expanding our philanthropic efforts," said Bob Kaufman, president emeritus and co-founder. "As we grow, we intend to continue supporting schools, charities and other worthwhile causes in each of the communities where our stores are located."
As part of introducing the company into new communities, Bob's works with local non-profit organizations and schools through the company's Bob's Outreach philanthropic program. Leading up to and continuing after the May 21 grand openings, Bob's will be presenting Random Acts of Kindness checks totaling $50,000 to 35 local organizations.
The new stores are located in Columbia, Md.; Cockeysville, Md.; Robinson Township, Pa.; and Monroeville, Pa. The stores range in size from 28,000 square feet to nearly 35,000 square feet.
