Mueller Furniture, a fourth-generation family-owned business, is opening its fourth St. Louis-area location at 51 Commerce Lane in Fairview Heights, Illinois.
The new location, which will offer the same furniture brands as its other locations in addition to more on-site inventory, will be called Mueller Furniture & Mattress Warehouse Showroom. This will be the business’s fourth location in the St. Louis region with stores in Ellisville and Lake St. Louis, Missouri, along with the flagship store in Belleville, Illinois, which opened in 1927.
The new 90,000-square-foot building, which is located at the former Weekends Only building in Fairview Heights, will feature a 55,000-square-foot showroom and will serve as a distribution center for all Mueller Furniture’s locations. The new store will also have the largest luxury mattress gallery and premium clearance section in the St. Louis and Metro East area.
Owner of Mueller Furniture, Mark Mueller, said the business has specialized in providing quality, American-made furniture since John Mueller opened its doors over 90 years ago. This location will carry on that same mission on a grander scale, with more than six million dollars of inventory under one roof.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be in the Fairview Heights community and have been looking forward to expanding our presence in the Metro East,” said Mueller. “This building is going to take our business to the next level in terms of providing exceptional quality furniture and customer service to all four of our locations.”
According to Mueller, the new location will also have a Palliser Gallery, the largest selection of Amish-made furniture in the Midwest, along with the business’ best-selling brands such as Flexsteel and Smith Brothers. All furniture items will be in-stock and ready for immediate delivery or pick-up. This location will also be the first store to carry a variety of outdoor furniture options.
The store opened to the public on August 25. Mueller said the business plans on hosting a grand opening celebration in early November.
