1800mattress.com has opened a Mount Kisco showroom as part of its plan to expand in Westchester County following the bankruptcy and closure of Rockaway Bedding this summer. The store, at 383 Bedford Road, is the fifth in Westchester.
The chain, based in Long Island City, is also looking a several locations for future stores, said John O’Connell, senior vice president of merchandising and retail.
“We have a terrific market share in Westchester … so we feel very strongly about Westchester County,â€? he said. “We’re not going to blanket the area with a lot of showrooms, but we’re going to make sure they’re in the right places. … Because we do business three ways, we strategically place stores where the customers most need it based on the data we receive from the phone business and the Internet.â€?
The Mount Kisco store has a new design with the atmosphere of a bedroom.
“You’ll have a very intimate setting, very soft,â€? O’Connell said, mentioning decorative curtains and other bedroom decor. “We’ve kind of forgone the basic visual appearance of a retail shop. … We’re looking to create an environment that makes it much more comfortable and easy to make a bedding purchase.”
Other Westchester locations are in Mamaroneck, Scarsdale, Ossining and Jefferson Valley.
