SOFA EXPRESS EMBRACES THE NATIONS FIRST ALL "HOME FASHIONS" SHOPPING CENTER

Jeffersonville, OH - These two concepts together are just the ticket. Sofa Express is the largest tenant to sign a lease with Greg Boyle, president of The Boyle Group, a Malvern, PA-based development firm for the new HomeWorks in Jeffersonville, dedicated entirely to products for your home.

Sofa Express has signed on with the largest space HomeWorks has offered. A 30,000 square foot, anchor store. This store is slated to open October 1.

In 1959, Townsend Quinn and his wife, Jane, founded Sofa Express in Columbus, Ohio under the name Westgate Furniture. Sofa Express is unique among furniture stores in several ways. Among them: Merchandise is in stock for next day delivery on virtually every upholstered piece they display. These services, implemented in 1989, remain unique in the furniture world today and have resulted in Sofa Express becoming one of the fastest growing furniture stores in the country. Currently, Sofa Express has more then 55 stores in Ohio.

HomeWorks is the brain child of Gregory Boyle. This concept is felt to be timely because the American home is the #1 driver of the US economy according to the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). This past week Lowe's announced profits were up 23% and Home Depot followed with the announcement; their numbers are up by 12.7%. HomeWorks, is a 315,000 sq. ft. outdoor center that is totally dedicated to home related retailers in categories such as wallpaper, furniture, baby furniture, closets, appliances, gardening, sunrooms, bedding, picture frames and the list goes on. So, will Boyle's "Value Driven Home Themed Shopping Venue" concept create a buzz and be the next big thing in retail? Based on the number of retailers who are flocking to get space at HomeWorks and the strength of the housing market, HomeWorks seems to be well positioned to satisfy a market that is hungry for a convenient, lifestyle-focused shopping experience.

The federal government has just disclosed that 1.8 million new homes were sold in the United States, in July. This number has not been equaled since 1986.

"With all the media support and phone calls we receive, look for more announcements in the coming days" remarked Melissa Freeman, Marketing Director for HomeWorks at their August 21, open house.

HomeWorks is located on Route 41 and Interstate 71, exit 69. For more information call 740-426-6991 or for leasing information the phone number at The Boyle Group is 800-513-2650.
