Overview
Arhaus, Inc. is an American home-furnishings retailer headquartered in Boston Heights, Ohio. The company sells furniture, decor, lighting, rugs, textiles, tableware, and related home goods through a combination of physical showrooms, e-commerce, print catalogs, and services for residential and commercial customers. Its offer is positioned above mass-market furniture retailers and is built around a curated, lifestyle-oriented assortment rather than a narrowly defined product category. The business was established in 1986 by Jack Reed and his son John Reed. The founders opened the first Arhaus store in a historic building on Cleveland's East Banks area of The Flats. During the same year, they expanded in the Cleveland and Akron metropolitan areas by converting four Workbench franchise stores into Arhaus locations. The name combines a reference to Aarhus, a Danish city, with the German word haus, meaning house. Arhaus has developed a retail model that combines large-format showrooms with direct-to-consumer channels. Stores are designed as immersive environments and are adapted to the character of their local markets. The company has concentrated its physical expansion in affluent real-estate markets across the contiguous United States, using both freestanding and shopping-center locations. Its digital store and catalog extend the brand's reach beyond its showroom network. As reported for 2024, the chain operated 92 locations in 29 states, although the number of locations may have changed subsequently. The assortment includes sofas and upholstered seating, dining tables and chairs, bedroom furniture, beds and bedding, media furniture, rugs, lighting, decorative accessories, and tableware. Arhaus also offers customizable furniture and products made with reclaimed, recycled, or other selected materials. A distinctive part of the assortment is its collection of so-called relics: antiques acquired by the company and then refurbished, repurposed, or otherwise prepared for resale. This gives the retailer a mix of newly produced goods and one-of-a-kind or limited-availability pieces. Sustainability and craftsmanship are central elements of Arhaus's stated brand identity. The company says that it does not source furniture materials from endangered rainforests and that approximately half of its products incorporate recycled materials. These claims support a positioning that links design and premium home furnishing with material reuse and artisan production. The company also emphasizes domestic capabilities; in 2021 it opened a 500,000-square-foot manufacturing and distribution facility in Conover, North Carolina, as part of an expansion of its American manufacturing and logistics infrastructure. Arhaus reorganized its corporate entity in 2013, changing from Homeworks, Inc., doing business as Arhaus, to Arhaus, Inc. Its headquarters were reestablished in Boston Heights in 2016. The company later opened a flagship location at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Ohio, and continued expanding into new markets, including Greenwich, Connecticut, and Palo Alto, California. Arhaus became a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq Stock Market on November 4, 2021, under the ticker ARHS. Its public-company strategy has continued to combine showroom growth, digital sales, product development, and investment in manufacturing and distribution.
History
Arhaus began in 1986 when Jack Reed and his son John Reed opened a furniture store in a historic building in Cleveland's East Banks area of The Flats. The founders selected the name Arhaus as a combination of Aarhus, the Danish city, and haus, the German word for house. Their early expansion involved converting four Workbench franchise stores in the Cleveland and Akron metropolitan area into Arhaus stores, establishing a regional base before the company pursued broader national growth. The retailer's development was tied to a differentiated view of home furnishings. Rather than compete solely on standardized furniture volume, Arhaus built an assortment around curated design, artisan production, reclaimed and recycled materials, and a showroom environment intended to present an entire lifestyle. Its product range expanded beyond core furniture to include lighting, rugs, bedding, dining products, media furniture, accessories, and antiques or repurposed pieces known as relics. The company also developed customization and furnishing services for residential and commercial customers. Arhaus expanded its store network during the 2010s. In 2014, it entered Arizona and California while opening additional stores in other markets. In 2015, it added seven stores, including locations in Louisiana and Kansas, bringing the reported total to 60 by the end of that year. The company opened several New York locations in 2016 and added another Texas location. In 2017, it entered Alabama and Wisconsin and added another California store, bringing the reported network to 70. Its stores included locations in shopping malls, anchor spaces, open-air centers, and freestanding sites, with market selection focused on affluent residential areas. The corporate entity was reincorporated in 2013 as Arhaus, Inc.; before that change, the business had been incorporated as Homeworks, Inc., doing business as Arhaus. Corporate headquarters were reestablished in Boston Heights, Ohio, in 2016. By the end of the 2010s, Arhaus had opened a new flagship store at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Ohio. These developments reflected the company's transition from a regional furniture business into a national specialty retailer with a recognizable store format and a broader direct-to-consumer operation. Manufacturing and logistics became a more visible part of the company's growth strategy in 2021. Arhaus opened a 500,000-square-foot facility in Conover, North Carolina, expanding domestic manufacturing and distribution capacity. The investment complemented the company's stated interest in American-made products and gave it additional infrastructure to support its showroom, catalog, and online channels. Arhaus also continued to describe sustainability as part of its product and sourcing approach, including a policy against using materials from endangered rainforests and a claim that approximately half of its products contain recycled materials. On November 4, 2021, Arhaus became a Nasdaq-listed public company under the ticker ARHS. The public listing provided a new corporate framework for continuing store expansion and operational investment. The company continued adding locations in the following years, including a 5,300-square-foot Greenwich, Connecticut, showroom opened in April 2024 and reported openings in Palo Alto, California. As reported for 2024, Arhaus had 92 locations across 29 states. Its current model combines physical retail, online ordering, print catalogs, and business-to-business capabilities, while maintaining an upscale brand identity centered on design, craftsmanship, customization, and material reuse.
