New at the IDC

As the Indiana Design Center celebrates its 15th year in operation, the showrooms in the building are as busy as ever helping you design, renovate and build. In keeping with offering the very best selections available in the region, several showrooms have been in the process of upgrading their spaces.

Ferguson Bath Kitchen and Lighting Gallery is now Ferguson Home, and their newly re-opened showroom is a must-see when visiting the IDC. The recent expansion of their two-story showroom folds in the Ferguson Appliance Gallery (formerly on 96th St.), creating 22,000 square feet of showroom space. “Having all of our resources under one roof is so helpful, it really enables us to offer an integrated customer experience,” says Natalie Gertiser, Ferguson Home’s Showroom Manager. The showroom name change reflects the desire to unify all platforms of the business, both digital and in-person.

Le Peep has also undergone a name change to Maple, serving classic breakfast & brunch. The ownership and staff have remained the same, but have debuted a new name and a more streamlined menu. The rebrand, moving away from a national franchise, references Indiana’s history as a leading maple syrup producer. “We are excited to announce our new concept, Maple. Our team wanted to create something truly local, and highlight the rich history of Indiana,” says Ali Hessaraki, owner of Maple.

And finally, Open Gate is set to move to the first floor of the IDC in the next several months. The move, from IDC’s second floor, brings another design/retail offering to the main floor, offering a customized selection of furniture and accessories. Savs Michael Hansen, owner of Open Gate, “This is a great growth opportunity, enabling us to serve both design clients as well as the more casual client that appreciates good design.
