84,000 square foot home decor store to open at Manassas Mall

A new “at home – The Home Decor Superstore” will open next week at Manassas Mall.

The new store will sit in the old JC Penney location, and will take up 84,000 square feet of floor space. The Manassas store will be the fourth in Virginia. Other “at home” stores are located in Chesapeake, Chesterfield, and Richmond.

The store sells a mixture of furniture, patio furniture, kitchen furniture, bathroom accessories, and seasonal items.

The new Manassas Mall store was slated to open last week. The opening date was rescheduled for Oct. 23. The store is expected to offer grand opening specials Oct. 23 and 24.

The store is the only one of its kind at Manassas Mall. The shopping center was purchased by Pyramid Companies headquartered in Syracuse, N.Y. Manassas Mall is one of 17 shopping centers in the company’s portfolio.

Manassas Mall is expanding, as work is underway to convert 103,000 sqaure foot space next to the “at home” store. The large space used to house a Target, but will soon be home to a new indoor speedway, bowling alley, and hamburger restaurant, according to a mall spokeswoman.

New stores in the expansion are expected to begin opening this winter with all stores expected to be open by Spring 2016.
