Sears Homestore returning to Plattsburgh

PLATTSBURGH — Soon, Sears appliances will be back on the sales floor, only this time at Choice Furniture. Sears, previously located at Champlain Centre, closed its doors this summer. Choice Furniture owners Jack and Willy Pirofsky recently got the OK to open a Sears Hometown Store, featuring various kitchen and laundry room appliances, right out of their location on Route 3. "We're very excited to bring Sears back into the community," said Willy Pirofsky. "It's going to be a phenomenal change for us, as well." Renovations started earlier this month to convert part of their showroom, featuring couches, lazy boys and mattresses, into an appliance showroom. Pirofsky said every wall that doesn't block off an office or a bathroom will be knocked down to showcase as many appliances as possible in the 30,000 square-foot showroom — making an additional 1,800 square-feet available. If necessary, Pirofsky said the store also has 7,500 square-foot warehouse space in the back with plenty of land to expand. For items not on the floor, customers can order unavailable Sears products online through a kiosk, in which deliveries to the store are free of charge. The new store will also accept Sears credit cards, provide warranty coverage and offer delivery and setup. The owners said they're hopeful to open the showroom sometime before Thanksgiving. The new showroom, Pirofsky said, will call for more employees, including two full-time positions and one part-time position to start. Depending on how successful the appliance section becomes, Pirofsky said more sales people could be added in the future. "Now people will be able to furnish their homes and purchase appliances at the same time," he said. "It will not only help the community, but help us by making everyone see what we have to offer." Choice Furniture is located at 594 Route 3 in Plattsburgh. It's open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information or updates, call 518-324-5400 or visit choicefurnitureny.com.
