A Restoration Hardware Outlet store is coming to Centerville, and it will be the first Dayton-area location for the California-based retailer of luxury home furnishings.

The new store is in the works at 985 S. Main St., between Spring Valley Road and Centerville Place, which includes a Kroger Marketplace store. The retail space previously housed a Stein Mart store, but has been vacant for at least five years except for a handful of pop-up sales, according to Nathan Cahall, development director for the city of Centerville.

Smith Osei, manager of a Restoration Hardware store in Virginia, was in Dayton Saturday wrapping up a hiring event for the new store. Osei said plans call for hiring about 20 employees, and opening the new store perhaps by the end of September.

The outlet store will have discounted prices compared to Restoration Hardware “Gallery” stores, Osei said. He referred further questions to Restoration Hardware corporate officials, who could not be reached Saturday or today.

“The city is excited to see a new retail store in that space, Cahall said today,Aug. 17. “That’s a prime location, so it’s a win for the city and a win for the new business.”

Restoration Hardware operates stores in the Kenwood Towne Center near Cincinnati and in Easton Towne Center in Columbus. The company calls itself “a luxury brand in the home furnishings marketplace offering furniture, lighting, textiles, bathware, décor, outdoor and garden, as well as baby & child products.”
