A new furniture store is planning to hire 100 workers near downtown Las Vegas.

The Ashley Furniture store is scheduled to open later this summer at 91 S. Martin Luther King Blvd. in a building that was occupied by Levitz Furniture near the Spaghetti Bowl until about three years ago.

The store will be holding a job fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday to hire 50 people. It plans to hire 50 more people in the next few months.

“I’m extremely excited that Ashley Furniture is moving into Ward 5 and bringing much-needed jobs to the community,” City Councilman Ricki Barlow said in a statement. “I look forward to a great turnout at the job fair and to the grand opening of this new store.”

Most available positions are for sales representatives, the store said, but it will also be hiring warehouse staff, drivers and cashiers. Applicants should bring copies of their resumes and be prepared for an interview, the company said.

The new store is part of the Glendale, Ariz.,-based Ashley Furniture Home Stores franchise operation.

President Michael Jedlowski said the company invested almost $2 million to renovate the building and he hopes to add fast-food operations at the property.

“I believe Las Vegas will grow and that it has a great economic system,” Jedlowski said.

Jedlowski owns 16 stores, including one at 6425 N. Decatur in Las Vegas and one at 681 Marks St. in Henderson.
