Furniture retailer Living Spaces debuted its giant Lenexa store Friday, its 34th location in seven states.

The company, based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, opened the 106,000-square-foot store at 12381 W. 95th St. It offers furniture and decor for living and dining areas, home office, bedroom, kid and teen rooms, and outdoor, as well as rugs, home decor, lighting and pictures.

Living Spaces displays some of its furniture in vignettes so customers get a better idea of how the furniture will look in their home.

Howard Johnson’s had once operated on the site, just east of Interstate 35 and west of Oak Park Mall on the south side of 95th Street. Most recently it was Expo Design Center and then a Kohl’s Superstore.
