Stu's Home Improvement Outlet Expands Warehouse Ops & Creates New Jobs in Dubuqu

What started one year ago with less than 5,000 square feet and a vision has grown into one of the Tri-State area's fastest-growing retail destinations for furniture, appliances, flooring, and home essentials. Today, Stu's Home Improvement Outlet announced a major warehouse expansion with a new warehouse and logistics facility at 2460 Kerper Boulevard in Dubuque. The retailer has grown from under 5,000 to more than 20,000 square feet of showroom space at 9396 Bellevue Heights Road, and is now adding thousands of additional square feet of warehouse and logistics space off Kerper Boulevard to support larger purchasing volume and future growth. The new facility provides expanded receiving, loading dock access, and the space to purchase larger truckloads of inventory at deeper discounts — passing even greater savings on to local families. The company offers the same product categories as major big-box retailers at significantly reduced prices and with immediate in-stock availability. The expansion will create approximately 20 new jobs, doubling the company's workforce across sales, warehouse, logistics, e-commerce, and customer service. "This is a huge moment for us," said Stu, owner of Stu's Home Improvement Outlet. "A year ago, we opened with less than 5,000 square feet and a vision to build something different — a place where families could save money and get quality products without paying retail prices. None of this would have been possible without our local community. Every customer, every referral, and every person who shared our story helped build this." "For many years, it has been a dream of mine to build something bigger than a store — something that could truly impact lives," he continued. "Whether it's helping people struggling with addiction, supporting families in crisis, or standing beside veterans, the vision has always been about creating opportunity, stability, and hope." The continued growth also strengthens the mission of Restoration Works, helping provide housing support, emergency home repairs, workforce development, and mentorship throughout the community. Stu's Home Improvement Outlet has announced plans for an additional Tri-State location launching Summer 2026. "As we grow, our mission grows," Stu said. "This has never been about selling furniture or appliances. It's about creating opportunity and building something meaningful." For more information, visit savewithstu.com .
