Homemakers Furniture said today it will build a 120,000-square-foot warehouse that will span the equivalent of 42 tennis courts on a five-acre plot of land on the northeast side of its property at 10215 Douglas Ave.

This marks the sixth major renovation for Homemakers since the company opened the doors of its Urbandale store in 1985, as well as the third build in the past six years.

Homemakers was founded in 1974 in Des Moines by Carl and Ina Merschman. Nebraska Furniture Mart, part of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway group, acquired Homemakers in 2000. The Merschman family continues to operate and manage the company.
