Gardner-White Furniture Opening Novi Location in 2017

The largest Michigan-based furniture store is growing. As part of an ongoing expansion in Southeast Michigan, Gardner-White today announced the acquisition of a 10^th retail location. The new 60,000 square foot showroom will be in the West Oaks Mall on Novi Road in Novi, Gardner-White Furniture announced.

This expansion into the Novi market will generate more than 50 jobs, according to the Auburn Hills-based company, split amongst Novi and Auburn Hills.

“Novi is a thriving community and regional retail hub with great complementary retailers. We have wanted to be in Novi for a long time, and are excited to join this community and believe that our great values and level of service will resonate with this community” said Steve Tronstein, Gardner-White CEO.

Gardner-White Furniture has been serving southeast Michigan since 1912, and today is Michigan’s only owned-and-operated large-scale furniture chain. Tronstein further elaborated, “The future of Gardner-White furniture depends on the economic growth of Southeast Michigan.  Our new Novi store is another significant investment in the Michigan economy. We live in Michigan. We believe in Michigan “

 Gardner-White’s mission is to offer value-conscious consumers with the best possible service, selection, and style.
