CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Brick, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leon’s Furniture Limited (“LFL” or “Leon’s”) (TSX:LNF), and Canada’s largest retailer of furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics, is celebrating the grand opening of its new store in Calgary, the retailer’s first in the city since 2009.
Strategically placed in the busy south end off Macleod Trail, the Shawnessy location officially opens to the public today and is ideally located to serve customers in Calgary as well as outlying communities such as High River, Okotoks, Black Diamond and Turner Valley.
“Since opening our first Calgary location in 1982, we’ve been proudly serving over 50,000 local customers each year,” said Dave Freeman, President of The Brick. “We are thrilled to open the doors of this new location, which will offer an industry-leading customer experience across all departments and serve customers in Calgary and beyond.”
The Shawnessy store boasts the retailer’s new open concept layout, with over 34,819 square feet of showroom space and The Brick’s full line-up of products. The new store features an expanded Mattress Gallery with a 26 ft Bedgear Pillow Display; Bedroom Gallery with multiple feature walls; updated accessory wall displays with an extended décor assortment; and updated Appliance and Electronics galleries with an extended selection of products.
The retailer’s new location is coupled with ongoing fundraising efforts in support of longstanding charitable partner, Children’s Miracle Network. Customers can visit the store’s Charity Corner to enjoy snacks and refreshments, with donation proceeds going towards the local Alberta Children’s Hospital.
The new location has created 31 jobs locally to date. As of December 2021, The Brick has over 430 Brick employees in Calgary across its various operations including The Brick retail stores, The Brick Mattress Stores, its local Distribution Centre and its Fleet Team.
