Virginia’s Shopping Landscape Shifts as Five Furniture Outlets Close Doors
Virginia is bracing for a significant blow to its retail landscape as a major furniture and home goods retailer announces the closure of five stores across the state. This development is part of a larger nationwide downsizing effort by the company, which is shuttering 71 stores across 13 states.
The closures in Virginia will impact communities in Colonial Heights, Hampton, Portsmouth, Richmond, and Virginia Beach. Specifically, the affected locations are:
- 120 Southgate Square, Colonial Heights, VA 23834
- 1082 W. Mercury Blvd, Hampton, VA 23666
- 2550 Airline Blvd., Portsmouth, VA 23701
- 4969 Nine Mile Rd, Richmond, VA 23223
- 3421 Virginia Beach Blvd, Virginia Beach, VA 23452
These closures represent a significant retreat from the Virginia market for the retailer, which has been a fixture in these communities for years. The move is expected to impact local employment and potentially leave large retail spaces vacant in key shopping areas.
