Loves Furniture to close 9 more Michigan stores
Loves Furniture plans to close nine more of its Michigan stores as it struggles to keep many former Art Van Furniture locations in business and stocked with inventory.
Loves CEO Mack Peters said Wednesday that the company will be consolidating its footprint after the holidays to 13 stores 12 in Michigan and one outside Toledo. Loves Furniture went into business in late summer with a total of 32 stores in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, employing nearly 950 people. Other stores are either closed or slated to close.
Some of the Michigan stores it is shuttering are only about a 10-minute drive from Loves Furniture locations that are staying open, he said.
Loves Furniture Closing 13 Stores After Just Four Months
In the blink of an eye another retailer new to the area is deciding to close their doors. Just 4 months after opening their first store in Michigan, in former Art Van Furniture locations, Loves Furniture is closing 13 stores, 10 of which are here in our state.
The current Burton location, the only in the Genesee county area, is on the list to be closed. According to Detroit News, the move is part of an overall consolidation plan.
“We’ve got stores literally five miles apart,” company CEO Mack Peters told the Detroit News. “With the global pandemic going on and the furniture shortage, we’re having a problem getting goods for our stores to stock all our stores and take care of our customers. We’re reducing our footprint of the number of stores to better serve our customers in the Detroit area.”
