Pottery
Barn, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE:WSM) portfolio of
brands, will debut its new store at Bradley Fair, a premier lifestyle
shopping center, in Wichita, Kansas on Friday, October 28th. The 11,000
square foot store marks the brand’s introduction to the Wichita region

refreshments, small bites and a DIY flower bar from local partner
BloomHaus, where guests can create their own bouquet.

“We are excited to introduce Pottery Barn at Bradley Fair and provide
the local community with a first-hand experience of our stylish,
high-quality home furnishings,” said Laura Alber, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. “Over the years we’ve received
numerous requests from customers for a store in Wichita. After waiting
patiently for the right space, we feel we’ve created an exciting
destination full of inspiration for visitors that encourages a sense of
discovery, is easy to shop, and offers unique services to help our
customers create their dream homes. We welcome all our neighbors to our
new home in Wichita, Kansas.”
The Wichita store is a hybrid of the traditional Pottery Barn design
featuring long floating shelves, oversized bays made of white oak,
blackened steel accents, concrete floors, and high open ceilings that
give a modern industrial feel. As part of Pottery Barn’s commitment to
sustainability, the store utilizes LED lighting to reduce energy
consumption and low VOC paints to reduce toxins.
The Design Studio offers new tools and resources to assist customers in
visualizing and customizing interior design and home furnishings
projects. In-store and in-home design consultations with expert Design
Specialists are complimentary and, for a small fee, in-home installation
services including room painting, drape installation, gallery wall
hanging and more, are also available.
