A little Arhaus for every house.

A popular retailer of high-end, artisan-crafted furniture and decor has introduced a new concept to Texas by way of Grapevine: Arhaus The Loft, an offshoot of Arhaus, opened at Grapevine Mills on June 30.

It has nestled into the hottest spot in the mall, in the city, in all of Tarrant County - next to Meow Wolf.

While Arhaus has seven locations in Texas (including one at Fort Worth's Shops at Clearfork), this is the brand's first "Loft" outlet in the state. The store carries new, discontinued, slightly imperfect, and overstocked pieces for every living space.

"As a luxury furniture store and leader in home décor, Arhaus was founded on the idea that home décor should stand the test of time, being sustainably sourced, lovingly made, and built to last," the company says in a release.

Arhaus The Loft offers a variety of home décor pieces and outdoor furniture including dining tables, sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, beds, desks, lighting, and more - at "incredible, consumer-friendly prices," they promise.

Grapevine Mills director of marketing Trudy Cresswell points out that Arhaus The Loft is a complement to Horchow Finale, located in Neiman Marcus Last Call at the mall.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome yet another anticipated opening that will further enhance Grapevine Mills’ home décor portfolio,” Cresswell says.

Its debut is well-timed to the opening of Meow Wolf, the buzzy immersive art experience launching July 14. The store sits between Meow Wolf and the Old Navy Outlet at Grapevine Mills.

Hours are 11 am-7 pm Monday-Saturday and 12-6 pm Sunday.

American Freight furniture chain to shut down 2 Fort Worth-area stores

American Freight

There's a big sale going on at American Freight.

There's a huge sale on furniture going down right now, but for a sad reason: American Freight, a chain of furniture stores operating in dozens of states, is permanently shuttering all 328 locations, due to “sustained inflation and macroeconomic challenges,” according to its parent company.

That includes two Fort Worth-area stores, part of seven stores overall in the Dallas-Fort Worth.

The closing comes after its parent company, Franchise Group, Inc., filed for bankruptcy protection, according to documents filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.

Store closing sales began on November 5, both online and at its 328 locations. Hilco Consumer-Retail is managing these sales for American Freight as the business winds down its operations nationwide. Significant discounts are being offered on the brand's full assortment of inventory.

Shoppers can save up to 30 percent off the lowest ticketed prices storewide. Available items include living room sets, bedroom furniture, dining tables, and a selection of scratch & dent and new in-box appliances, such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.

New inventory is arriving and expected to move quickly, so customers should take advantage of this prime opportunity to enjoy exceptional deals before it's too late.

"Our goal is to deliver outstanding value to customers during this full chain closing sale," said Ian Fredericks, CEO of Hilco Consumer-Retail. "Everything is on sale and must be sold, and we recommend shopping early for the best selection."

During the store closing sales, select American Freight financing and delivery services will remain available to customers, presenting a unique opportunity to shop exceptional discounts with the convenience of flexible payment and home delivery.

The chain has 39 stores in Texas, including 7 in DFW and two in Tarrant County, all closing as follows:

401 Southwest Plaza, Ste 105, Arlington
1265 Town Square Dr, Fort Worth
1825 Westpark Dr Grand Prairie
