Arhaus Furniture

Arhaus is a U.S. home furnishings retailer focused on premium furniture and décor, with products sold through a mix of physical stores, design studios, e-commerce, and catalog. The brand designs and sources its own collections of indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting, rugs, textiles, and accessories for customers who are furnishing entire rooms and homes rather than making one-off purchases. Its assortment leans into natural materials, visible craftsmanship, and exclusive designs developed with manufacturing partners and artisans around the world.

The company was founded in 1986 in Cleveland, Ohio, by John Reed and his late father, Jack Reed. From the beginning, they set out to offer distinctive pieces that were not widely available in big-box or mass-market furniture chains. What started as a regional concept gradually expanded across the country, evolving into a national lifestyle brand. A major step in that evolution was the move to a true multi-channel model, combining full-size showrooms, smaller-format design studios, and a growing e-commerce platform under one cohesive brand. Arhaus went public in 2021 on Nasdaq under the ticker ARHS, a milestone that provided capital to speed up new store openings and invest in distribution and technology.

As of November 2025, Arhaus operates about 100 showrooms and design studios across the United States, supported by online and catalog sales. Its locations are typically placed in higher-income suburban trade areas, open-air lifestyle centers, regional malls, and select urban neighborhoods where homeownership and incomes are strong. Stores are designed to showcase full-room vignettes and to support on-site design consultations, which are central to the brand’s sales approach. In high-rent or dense markets where a full-line showroom is not practical, Arhaus uses smaller design studios that function as design hubs and order-writing locations, complementing its digital channels.

The company is headquartered in Boston Heights, Ohio, between Cleveland and Akron, and serves customers nationwide through a combination of its own distribution facilities and third-party delivery partners. Over roughly the last five years, Arhaus has shifted from being known primarily as a regional specialty retailer to a broader omnichannel lifestyle brand with national awareness, steadily extending its store base into new metropolitan areas while also deepening penetration in existing markets. Recent investor communications describe a measured but ongoing expansion plan focused on affluent suburban nodes, high-performing lifestyle projects, and select urban districts, with a long-term view toward continued net new store growth.

Arhaus also emphasizes responsible sourcing and longevity in its products, often highlighting reclaimed wood, recycled elements, and durable construction. A team of in-house designers and interior design consultants offers complimentary design services in homes and in stores, which supports larger projects such as whole-room or whole-home furnishing and helps drive repeat visits.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Arhaus brings a nationally recognized, publicly traded brand that invests in visually compelling build-outs and full-home storytelling on the sales floor. Its willingness to operate both traditional showrooms and smaller design studios gives it flexibility across a range of project types, from open-air lifestyle centers and strong power centers to well-positioned urban retail corridors. The company’s stated growth posture and disciplined focus on affluent trade areas suggest ongoing demand for quality space in markets that match its customer base.
