Texas Furniture Plans Grand Reopening on Bonham Street in Downtown Paris

Texas Furniture, at 310 Bonham St in downtown Paris, scheduled a grand reopening for Saturday, October 3, 2026, as listed in The Paris News business section. The reopening is an investment by an established local retailer in its downtown storefront, and it lands in a historic core that has been adding businesses, events, and foot traffic through 2026.

Downtown Paris has been the subject of sustained civic attention this year: the city holds a Texas Main Street designation, downtown businesses have earned Texas Downtown Association awards, and a steady stream of storefront openings has filled gaps along the square and its spokes. A furniture retailer choosing to relaunch rather than close is a concrete signal that the trade area supports larger-ticket discretionary retail.

Why it matters for commercial value

Downtown reinvestment matters beyond the square itself. Healthier retail in the core strengthens the whole city's commercial story, which is the same story lenders, franchise operators, and site selectors evaluate when they underwrite Paris. It also keeps the historic district competitive with the Loop 286 and Lamar Avenue corridors rather than ceding spending to them.

For 1905 E Price St, the pattern is the relevant point. Paris retail is not static: it is attracting new openings and retaining established operators, both of which sustain the lease demand that supports commercial income and value. A centrally located asset with flexible end uses is well positioned in that environment.
