At Home to replace Geneva's Gander Mountain in March
At Home, a Texas-based big box home decor retailer, has plans to open in Geneva in March, according to the broker.

At Home has plans for continued growth, according to its website. Net sales this year are projected at jump from $939 million to $944 million, representing annual growth of 23 percent.
The new store in Geneva joins other national retailers in the shopping center including Best Buy, Burlington Coat Factory, Fresh Thyme Farmers Market and O'Reilly Auto Parts.
