BETHLEHEM TWP., Pa. – A new destination for sofas, curtains and other home décor is helping Northampton County shoppers spruce up their living spaces.
Dave's Home Furnishing, a family-owned business offering furniture and home goods such as lamps, mirrors and wall art, opened Saturday at 2920 Easton Ave., Suite 9/10, in Bethlehem Township.
The new store is located in a renovated space next to Petco at The Shops at Bethlehem, formerly known as Easton Commons.
Co-owner Zafira Singh said customers can buy furniture for any room, including bedroom, dining room and living room furniture. We also sell mattresses and box springs.
“People are really excited,” Singh said. “We received a warm welcome on Saturday.”
Singh and her husband, Dave Singh, also operate Dave's Department Store, which sells furniture, home goods, clothing and more, at 282 Line St. in Easton.
Zafira said the department store has been in its current Line Street space for about six years, but the business began on Butler Street in Wilson in 2014.
At Dave's new store in Bethlehem Township, customers can purchase furniture along with other home furnishings such as lamps, curtains, vases, chair cushions, and wall and tabletop decorations.
Zafira said Dave's carries chairs, tables and other items from a variety of furniture suppliers, including ACME Furniture, Cosmos Furniture and Ashley Furniture, the industry's most popular manufacturer.
The Bethlehem Township store is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
“We're definitely known for our curtains,” Zafira said. “We're from New York and use suppliers from New York and New Jersey, so our customers can find a lot of unique items they can't find at the big chains.”
The Shops at Bethlehem is located in a rapidly growing area on the border of Bethlehem and Bethlehem Township.
220 apartments are planned for the site of the former Bethlehem Drive-In Theater, just east of the Giant Anchord shopping center. The project is named Thirty22, after his 3022 Easton Ave. address.
The Shops at Bethlehem also recently opened Poke Bar 25, a fast-casual eatery specializing in custom and specialty poke bowls, bubble tea and smoothies.
