Latest Trends in Furnishings

A new trend visitors can expect to see at the Orchard Park 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,” Ryan said.

For those who are unable to attend the ribbon cutting and prefer to shop online, Ryan 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 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET Mon.-Sat. and 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Sunday.
