History

Living Spaces was founded in Rancho Cucamonga, California in August 2003, by Grover Geiselman and Sharm Scheuerman. [2] They were inspired by Jim McIngvale's Gallery Furniture company, working there for four months until they moved to Rancho Cucamonga and found an old Costco building to use for a showroom-warehouse approach. [3] [4]

It opened its first Bay Area location in Fremont, in August 2015. [5] Its first Nevada store, in Summerlin began operations in December 2016. [6] A location in Pflugerville, Texas in May 2018 was the first one in Texas. [7] [8] In 2019, the company announced that it was to start shipping furniture nationwide. [9] In April 2022, Living Spaces partnered with Drew and Jonathan Scott to release an exclusive furniture collection. [10] [11]

Locations

Philanthropy

[13] It also holds annual blood drive in some of its stores in a collaboration with the American Red Cross. [14]
