Once is not enough for MoeB次元官网网址檚 Home Collection.

The purveyor of quality home furnishings is expecting to open its new Langford store by the end of August while continuing to operate its main downtown outlet.

B次元官网网址淥ur new Langford store will be about 5,000 square feet, so itB次元官网网址檚 going to be a pretty good size,B次元官网网址� said franchise owner Curtis Vertefeuille.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 going to have a much different look than our downtown store, how itB次元官网网址檚 going to be situated. It will have a very modern, clean and fresh design.B次元官网网址�

MoeB次元官网网址檚 Home opened its original store in Victoria six years ago in a compact (2,000-square-foot) space on Fisgard Street in Chinatown. Less than two years later, an opportunity presented itself, allowing the firm to make the short move to its present 10,000-square-foot two-story space at 1630 Store St.

The new space is located close to the corner of Peatt Road and Goldstream Avenue in Langford, in the distinctive Tallwood 1 development. This 12-storey mass timber-designed mixed-use rental tower combines a ground-floor commercial space with rental apartments.

The first MoeB次元官网网址檚 Home Collection store opened in Vancouver in 1986 and has since opened outlets across North America and even as far afield as Kuwait City, Kuwait.

B次元官网网址淚 worked with MoeB次元官网网址檚 in Vancouver for more than 10 years before I decided to move to the Island six years ago to open a store of my own. Right before I left them, they said why donB次元官网网址檛 you open it as a MoeB次元官网网址檚? I was sort of a test franchise for them, and it must have worked as I think weB次元官网网址檙e up to 12 or 13 now,B次元官网网址� Vertefeuille said.

Providers for the home of everything but major appliances, MoeB次元官网网址檚 Home operates with a unique business model as everything they sell is made specifically for them B次元官网网址� meaning the expansive product line offered can only be bought through the franchise.

B次元官网网址淭he West Shore is a very young community with families just starting out. As we can offer a range of entry-level products to fit any budget, they can purchase quality without having to go to the Big Box stores,B次元官网网址� explained Andrew Harris, manager of the new Langford store.

B次元官网网址淲hen you consider the amount of building going on in the West Shore, we can accommodate customers living the condo lifestyle. Really, we have products for customers living in everything from studio apartments to mansions.B次元官网网址�

Despite the convenience of the online world, MoeB次元官网网址檚 is a firm believer in the value of a brick-and-mortar store.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 important for people to come down and touch and feel the product. The showroom is still very important to our customers,B次元官网网址� Vertefeuille said.
