Hey rockstars and hannah- Zoom is right I checked it out today and Sikers and the Comfort Shoppes at both of the stores (Yup I went shopping to find out)all have Ashley products Comfort Shoppe actually had more Ashley stuff instock the guy told me than most of the Ashley Home stores so you don't have to wait, BIG plus I thought and they also have free delivery which was another plus cuz the Home store quoted me $85-$100 for delivery and I had to wait 2 to 3 weeks so buying local has its pluses I guess. I don't know how Slumberland is gonna do it but the one in Delavan charges and didn't have hardley any Ashley to see when I went there, so Sikers and The Comfort Shoppes and even found out that Crazy Joes (I think thats the name) downtown had Ashley to. So not that big of A deal, but it will be nice for A few jobs and A building that won't be empty anymore! Now if somebody would move into the old Menards that would be cool...... Good Luck to all the new businesses coming in and I hope the ones that have been around get some local help from us, no sense going out of town and paying more when you can get it here and now.

I am very excited that a new buisness is coming into Janesville...and it will provide jobs which are much needed in this community right now!!

However Siker Furniture has a great range of lovely furniture.Also a great range in prices! I bought a lazy boy from there a couple weeks ago and I love it.....great selection and great service. I will be a repeat customer!

I would imagine that the economy may actually help some businesses, and certainly those that have cash on hand or an accessible credit (at incredibly low interest rates) are going to be in the best position. Keep in mind that the 14/26 area is a regional shopping district.

It's possible Slumberland got a great deal on the building, and are willing to wait out the economy for the inevitable recovery.

I agree that it'll be difficult for Slumberland to get good sales with the unemployment rate down as it is in our current economy. Hopefully, this will be the upswing for employment and income into Jville AND Rock County. I may not like being in Jville (due to money issues, I've gotta stay), but if Jville goes under financially, the entire County will be very economically depressed.

Happy news. It'll be nice to have a larger furniture retailer in Janesville to offer a larger selection.

BW3, I would imagine, would be open by the 19th, in time for the first round of the NCAA basketball tournament. But, who knows. I haven't heard any firm date, just my guess.

Anyone know when BW3 is going to open?

So glad to see a new furniture store coming here. Choices here have been very limited and it will be nice not to have to go out of town for furniture needs.

Yep, this is what we need. More stores willing to take a chance by coming into Janesville. It all helps.

More than 5 years ago a saleslady at Eastowne Slumberland told me that the company wanted to break into Janesville for a store. Kind of can't believe they're going to open now, but I do think it is great for Janesville and the eyesore of the old Walmart.

I just love my Simmons Beautyrest that I bought from Slumberland. With the way way everything is going atleast I am getting a good nights sleep. Thanks

87% of people still have jobs. Positive thinking.

That's great, but who can afford the furniture if we don't have jobs in the first place?

POSITIVE THINKING PEOPLE. I know it's hard for so many in Janesville. Always has been.

This is good news..it means jobs. At least a few. Which is what is needed desperately!

Somebody's got deep pockets and a whole lot of faith, or they're working with three year old market data..... ???

Slumberland, Sikers and Comfort Shoppe, among others, sell (and can also order) Ashley furniture.

I would have liked an Ashley Homestore instead but, eh.

Cool, Slumberland is awesome. I deliver to all their stores.
