Arhaus is set to open an expanded, multi-story showroom at The Shops at Riverside in Hackensack on Oct. 30, giving North Jersey shoppers a bigger look at the upscale furniture brand's globally sourced collections. The showroom will occupy levels 1 and 2 near Bloomingdale's inside the mall at 390 Hackensack Ave.
A Bigger Footprint Near Bloomingdale's
According to NJ.com, the showroom features heirloom-quality furniture and décor crafted by artisans around the world, with staged living, dining, bedroom and outdoor collections arranged throughout the space. The outlet reports that Arhaus collections are made with sustainably sourced and reclaimed materials. That matches how the brand is described elsewhere: the Shops at Riverside's own listing notes that Arhaus has offered furniture and décor handcrafted by artisans around the world for indoor and outdoor use since the company's founding in 1986, per simon.com.
Richard Madramuthu, assistant vice president of leasing at The Shops at Riverside, said the expanded showroom adds value to the retail mix, the report notes.
Design Center Adds Custom Options
The expanded showroom includes an in-store design center offering complimentary design consultants, custom-upholstery swatches and room-planning services, per the same report. Those in-person perks line up with what simon.com describes as complimentary design services available both in person and virtually, along with robust custom-design capabilities and special offerings for industry professionals.
A separate listing for the location adds texture to the shopping experience itself. Inside, lifestyle staging areas mimic areas of the home, offering unique collections for living, dining and bedroom setups, according to localmint.com, which also confirms the store occupies levels 1 and 2 near Bloomingdale's.
Part of a Broader Expansion Push
The Hackensack project fits into a wider pattern of growth for the furniture retailer. Arhaus said in August it expected to complete approximately 10 to 14 showroom projects in 2026, consisting of 4 to 6 new openings and 6 to 8 relocations, renovations or expansions, according to Arhaus investor relations.
A comparable project played out in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Arhaus relocated its showroom to a new freestanding location at The Village at SouthPark. The roughly 35,000-square-foot space is described by the company as its second-largest traditional showroom, per Arhaus investor relations. The Charlotte Business Journal reported that the move tripled the footprint of the SouthPark showroom, making it one of the largest locations in the furniture retailer's portfolio.
North Jersey has seen other furniture retailers shuffle their footprints this year as well. In Paramus, a furniture retailer relocated to a former Sports Authority site, marking a move for a store that had been in Paramus since an earlier era, as reported by NorthJersey.com. For Hackensack shoppers, the Arhaus expansion gives the Shops at Riverside another reason to draw comparisons to the kind of large-format showroom experiences now appearing across the retailer's growing portfolio.
