The Peoria-based commercial real estate agency Cullinan Properties Ltd. announced Tuesday that Slumberland Furniture Inc. will open its first area location in the former Gordman’s space in the East Peoria Levee District this spring.
The regional furniture retailer will occupy a 50,221 square-foot space between Lane Bryant and Carpet Weaver’s Flooring & Furniture Gallery. Slumberland Furniture’s product line includes a large selection of mattresses and bedding, living room furniture, recliners, tables and dining sets, bedroom furniture, home entertainment, desks, décor and more. The company gives back to communities through its 40 Winks Foundation, which provides new beds to children who would otherwise be sleeping on the floor.
On this week's Communities that KARE, we feature the foundation that helps families get peace of mind by giving children a place to comfortably rest their heads.
