Dania Furniture in Algonquin to close in March

An anchor store in the Galleria of Algonquin shopping center along the Randall Road will close this spring.

The Dania Furniture store at 1621 S. Randall Road is going out of business, with employees saying it will shut its doors at the end of March.

Dania is located on the east side of Randall, near the Best Buy store, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, and the new Jo-Ann Fabrics and Craft Store.

Sales offering discounts on the furniture inside already are in progress.

Representatives from Dania Furniture's corporate office could not be reached for comment. However, the store's website, voice answering service, employees and green signs on the exterior announce Dania's closing.

They also state that there are sales featuring up to 70 percent off regular prices.

Employees say all of the floor samples inside of the Randall Road store are on sale, and discounts will continue until the store closes this spring.

For several years, furniture shoppers in market for new couches, kitchen tables and entertainment centers were able to make shopping a little easier by hitting a number of furniture stores within a small area along the Randall Road corridor in Algonquin.

There was the Dania store, and just to the north of it in the same Galleria shopping center, an Ethan Allen furniture store.

Then just to the south on Randall Road, there was The Room Place at 2471 S. Randall Road and Ashley Furniture Home Store at 2451 S. Randall Road.

Ethan Allen closed a couple of years ago. That store's former building now is filled by the Jo-Ann Fabrics and Crafts store.

There is no word yet on what might take the place of the Dania Furniture store in Algonquin along Randall Road once it closes this spring.

In the Chicago area, Dania has other locations in Northbrook, Orland Park and Lombard.
