Arhaus will soon open a Bethesda location at Westfield Montgomery Mall. Construction of the furniture store is already underway inside their generously-sized showroom space on Level 1, as you can see below. Arhaus was founded in 1986, and specializes in heirloom-quality furnishings made from materials like wicker, aluminum, and teak. The company supports an exhaustive range of causes and organizations, from environmental sustainability to LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. In 2021, it opened a manufacturing and distribution facility in North Carolina to demonstrate its commitment to another goal, bringing back currently-offshored jobs to the United States.
What was previously in the location they are planning to occupy?
ReplyDeleteThis is effectively a relocation since the store at NoBe Market in North Bethesda is closing. I don't really see how this is an improvement though.
ReplyDeleteI suppose they'll see more foot traffic, but Rockville Pike (especially the stretch from the R'ville Town Center to the former White Flint mall) is really the hub of furniture/décor retail for Montgomery County and beyond. All of those retailers benefit from clustering near each other.
