Pier 1 Imports Returns to Vernon Hills

Pier 1 Imports has returned to Vernon Hills.

Just months after closing its Milwaukee Avenue location, which will be replaced with a newly built Chick-fil-A, Pier 1 opened July 29 in the Rivertree Court shopping center.

The store offers more than 7,800 square feet of furniture and home décor in its “new store concept” that features bamboo window awnings and a bamboo door, a natural-looking floor and ceiling, enhanced interior lighting and lit shelving units along the walls.

The store will mark its opening by offering a free reusable shopping bag and a Pier 1 backscratcher to the first 200 customers each day through Aug. 4.

Pier 1 is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

“We are pleased to bring this new Pier 1 Imports to Vernon Hills and hope that our new location will inspire customers to discover the eclectic and fun merchandise that is unique to Pier 1 Imports,” said Alex W. Smith, president and chief executive officer of Pier 1 Imports. “Pier 1 Imports offers merchandise that fits all decorating styles, as well as a broad array of affordable holiday décor, furniture and gifts, and we look forward to sharing our unique shopping experience with the residents of Vernon Hills and the surrounding area.”
