Arhaus, Inc. is an American retail chain that designs and sells home furnishings online and through its retail stores and catalogs. The company is headquartered in Boston Heights, Ohio.

History

Arhaus was founded in 1986 by John Reed and his father, Jack Reed, as a furniture store in The Flats of Cleveland, Ohio. The company name is a portmanteau of the Danish city "Aarhus," and the German word for "house." The Reeds expanded Arhaus that same year, converting four Workbench franchise stores in the Cleveland and Akron, Ohio area into Arhaus storefronts.

In 2013, the company formerly known as Homeworks, Inc. changed its name to Arhaus, LLC.

In 2015, the chain had 57 storefronts in the United States.

In 2014, Freeman Spogli & Co., a private equity firm, acquired a minority stake in Arhaus for an undisclosed amount.

In 2016, Arhaus moved its headquarters from Walton Hills, Ohio to Boston Heights, Ohio.

In 2019, Arhaus opened its new flagship location at Legacy Village in Lyndhurst, Ohio.

In 2021, Arhaus expanded US manufacturing capacity with a facility in North Carolina

In 2021 Arhaus became listed on the Nasdaq with an initial public offering that valued the company at $1.75 billion.

Products

Arhaus sells home furniture and decor products such as sofas, dining tables and chairs, bedroom furniture, bedding, media centers, tableware, rugs and lighting. The company adapts its storefronts to reflect local markets and influences.

According to Arhaus, the company does not source materials from endangered rainforests for its furniture. The company reports that around 50% of its product incorporates recycled materials.

Arhaus sells "relics" as a part of their product offering. "Relics" are antiques that have been purchased by the company, refurbished or repurposed, and then are sold off the floor by Arhaus.
