At Home

At Home is a national home décor and furnishings retailer that operates large-format stores focused on helping customers style their homes. The company offers a broad selection of furniture, rugs, lighting, wall art, kitchen and tabletop items, bedding, bath, and seasonal décor, all under one roof. Its stores are designed as destination shopping experiences, typically in big-box spaces ranging from about 100,000 to 120,000 square feet.

The company traces its roots to 1979, when it began as a single store in Texas. Over the years, it evolved into a national chain by expanding organically and through strategic moves, including the acquisition of the Home Décor Products chain in 2011, which significantly increased its store count and product depth. That deal helped solidify At Home as a major player in the home category, with a consistent, recognizable format across markets.

As of October 2024, At Home operates more than 230 stores across over 40 states, with a strong concentration in the South, Midwest, and Southwest. The company continues to open new locations in both established and new markets, including secondary and tertiary cities as well as select major metropolitan areas. Its expansion strategy favors suburban power centers, lifestyle centers, and open-air shopping districts, often in new development or redeveloped retail projects where it can serve as a strong home category draw.

In recent years, At Home has maintained a steady growth posture, prioritizing well-located big-box spaces that support its destination model. The company is publicly traded and operates as a standalone entity under At Home Group Inc., with no franchise component. Its long track record of securing large sites, signing long-term leases, and maintaining a stable, creditworthy presence makes it a familiar and reliable name in retail real estate conversations.
