» RELATED: At Home to open first area location in Beavercreek
Associate city planner Sandra Pereira told this news organization that construction crews were making good progress on the renovation of the building — tearing down the front of the structure for renovation purposes. The former Kmart building, which has stood there for more than 40 years, has been deteriorating significantly in recent years.
This will be the first At Home location in the Dayton area. The retailer already has two locations in the Cincinnati area and another two in the Columbus area. It operates 136 stores in 33 states, and sells “home products to fit any budget or style — from sofas, dining sets, mattresses and patio furniture to lamps, pillows, kitchenware, rugs and more, plus seasonal décor that includes yard displays, lights and Christmas trees.”
