ASHEVILLE, NC, APRIL 26, 2022 — Zapolski Real Estate LLC, one of the nation’s specialty developers of premier shopping and neighborhood lifestyle destinations, today announced that Arhaus Studio has signed a lease to open its first store in the Asheville area.

The new store will occupy 7,215 square feet of space at Asheville Market, located at 4 South Tunnel Road in the South Tunnel Road Corridor of Asheville. Arhaus Studio expects to open in late October or November of this year in time for the holidays.

“We are thrilled to announce that Arhaus Studio, a new compact retail concept being introduced by Arhaus in smaller U.S. markets, is joining our strong mix of national and local retail tenants at Asheville Market,” said Bruce Lynch, director of East Coast Leasing Management, Zapolski Real Estate LLC. “Arhaus Studio brings exceptional quality and stylish home furnishings which will nicely complement the neighborhood shopping experience we have created at our newly renovated Asheville Market property.”

“Asheville Market is in one of the city of Asheville’s most highly trafficked commercial corridors that is expected to experience significant growth over the next decade,” added Lynch. “Zapolski Real Estate developed Asheville Market as part of our vision for an experiential neighborhood retail destination that would be e-commerce resilient and appealing to patrons across all demographics.”
