BROOKLYN, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Home furnishings retailer West Elm, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. family of brands (NYS: WSM) , announced today that it will open a new retail store in Indianapolis on November 15th, 2012.

"The store at The Fashion Mall at Keystone is our 8th new West Elm store this year, and caps a strong year of growth for the West Elm brand," said Jim Brett, President of West Elm. "Equally as important, we've made strong local connections with organizations supporting the arts and the environment at all of our openings. We're excited to continue this in Indianapolis with The Harrison Center for the Arts, an organization that shares the same views as West Elm on the importance of supporting local art in the community."
Just in time for Thanksgiving and the holidays, West Elm's signature mix of globally inspired furniture, home décor and seasonally updated collaborations, including holiday trim from ConfettiSystem and bedding from Allegra Hicks, will be available at the Indianapolis store.
