Bob’s Discount Furniture to Open in Algonquin

On Friday, August 30th, Bob’s Discount Furniture, the 9th largest U.S. furniture chain according to Furniture Today with 182 stores across 24 states and over $2B in annual sales will host a grand opening of its newest store in Algonquin. The new store is located at 1820 S Randall Road, will provide the community with around 30 jobs and offer 24,700 square feet of merchandise for consumers to choose from. While the Grand opening is on the 30th, the first day of business is August 19th.

The Grand Opening on August 30th will have a ribbon cutting, feature entertainment for the kids, and there will be an on-the-house café with free snacks for all inside.

For those planning to attend the ribbon cutting, Bob’s asks people to arrive by 9:00 a.m. CT. The program of events including ribbon cutting, official remarks and check presentations will begin promptly at 9:15 a.m. CT, and the program is expected to conclude by 9:45 a.m. CT.

As part of the company’s commitment to giving back to the community, Bob’s will be donating $2,500 to

Jacobs High School, which provides authentic learning experiences designed to help all students realize the possibilities that lay before them; and $2,500 to Veterans Path to Hope (VPH). VPH was founded in 1996 by Alan Belcher, a Vietnam combat veteran and licensed counselor. Since 2001 VPH has owned and operated New Horizons, a transitional living program in Hebron, Illinois, for 20 homeless veterans who want a chance to rebuild their lives. Laura Franz, Executive Director for Veterans Path to Home will be in attendance to accept the donation.

“Bob’s makes furniture available and affordable to everyone, regardless of your budget,” said Todd Peters, regional store manager at Bob’s. “We pride ourselves on always having the best values in the market for furniture and look forward to bringing our extensive collection to the residents of Algonquin.”

Latest Trends in Furnishings

A new trend visitors can expect to see at the Algonquin store includes furniture that incorporates technology, such as reclining sofas with LED lights, built-in charging stations, power reclining capabilities, and furniture designed to accommodate remote work. Multipurpose furniture is also increasingly popular, as consumers expect their furniture to work harder for them due to hybrid work schedules that have changed the way we eat, sleep and work at home. Health and wellness are also factoring into furniture decisions today, which is reflected in furniture that incorporates massage features into sofas, chairs as well as innovative mattresses and mattress foundations to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Bob’s offers furniture for living rooms, bedrooms, kid’s rooms, dining rooms, home offices, and outdoor patios. They also have mattresses and mattress accessories, including bed frames, box springs and foundations, and other home décor items, such as pillows, rugs, bedding, lamps, mirrors, and framed artwork.

Founded in 1991, Bob’s Discount Furniture is one of the fastest growing furniture retailers in the country.

“In 2023, we were named by Newsweek as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces, and in 2024, we were named the 9th largest furniture retailer in the U.S by Furniture Today,” Todd said.

For those who are unable to attend the ribbon cutting and prefer to shop online, Todd says customers can create a virtual cart at home through the company’s website. Then, when in the store, they can share their cart information with a Guest Experience Associate who can then process the order on the spot.

Store hours are Mon.-Sat. 10 am – 9 pm and Sun. 11 am – 7 pm
