Homemakers Furniture has announced plans to open its second location in Tiffin, Iowa, bringing approximately 200 new jobs to the area.

The new store will be located in the Park Place Development, just north of I-80 off I-380 between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City. This expansion aims to provide Eastern Iowa residents with a broader selection of home furnishings while contributing to local economic growth through job creation.

“We are thrilled to introduce Homemakers Furniture to Tiffin, providing residents with the same outstanding selection and service that has established us as a trusted name in home furnishings for 50 years,” said Roger Merschman, President and second-generation family operator. “Since 1974, we have proudly served Iowans and remain committed to our core values of integrity, service, and community involvement as we expand.”

Tiffin Mayor Tim Kasparek welcomed the announcement, stating, “This moment represents a turning point for the City of Tiffin, ushering in an exciting new chapter of opportunity and continued progress for our vibrant and growing community. Homemakers perfectly reflects the values we cherish—hard work, integrity, and a deep commitment to community. Their arrival will not only bring an exceptional shopping experience closer to home but will also create meaningful jobs, invigorate our local economy, and elevate the quality of life for our residents.”

The Tiffin location will feature a showroom displaying a variety of furniture styles, from contemporary to traditional, along with home decor items. The store will offer employment opportunities in management, interior design, sales, delivery, and warehouse operations.

Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025, with an anticipated grand opening in 2028. The 200,000-square-foot facility will include a warehouse to support same-day furniture pickup, as well as curbside and in-home delivery options.
