Homemakers Furniture to Build Warehouse

This marks the sixth major renovation for Homemakers since the company opened the doors of its Urbandale facility in 1985, as well as the third build in the past six years. The facility follows on the retailer’s recent kick off of its e-commerce site and will help the company keep pace with anticipated growth.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve the customer experience,” said Dave Merschman, president of Homemakers. “A lot of thought goes into picking the perfect pieces to furnish your home, so once you’ve made your decision, you want to get your order as quickly as possible. What our new warehouse addition will enable us to do is make more merchandise immediately available for the customer. It’s something that’s so important to customers, and yet, retailers haven’t been able to meet that need. We’re changing that.”
