Morris Home Furnishings to open store in northern Kentucky

Morris Home Furnishings plans to open its Morris Home Center concept store in Florence, Ky., the company said.

The company said the store’s opening will include adding 50 employees. The project will carry with it a $5 million investment that includes remodeling, fixtures and showroom inventory, executives said.

The 100,000-square-foot store will house furniture, mattresses, high-definition televisions and gifts for the home, a news release states.

This marks the first store project by Morris since it launched a home center in Springdale in November 2010.

The Fairborn-based company operates 17 home furnishings showrooms in Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus and northern Kentucky.
