Homesense says it sells off-price “unexpected finds from around the world and an ever-changing selection of famous brands.”

“Homesense features a wide array of furniture, a rug emporium, a wall art and mirror gallery, an extensive lighting department that includes hanging chandeliers, and a ‘work from home’ section with everything one could possibly need for the home office of today,” said the news release about the Sarasota store opening.
“Customers will also be able to shop for seasonal items, including holiday décor and entertaining essentials, all at prices 20-50% less than full-price retailers, including department and specialty stores.”
It said new merchandise shipments arrive weekly.
