Cathedral City, Calif. - Linder's Furniture, the Southern California home-furnishings and consumer electronics chain, opened its second superstore in as many months on Saturday, bringing the store count to 11.

Located here in the Palm Desert area, the 130,000-square-foot facility supplants the company's Room Express outlet in this market and continues its new superstore strategy. Linder's opened its first superstore, a 50,000-square-foot showroom located in a former Wickes Furniture site in Rancho Cucamonga, in February.

According to company director Tom Campbell, the grand-opening weekend drew huge crowds that bought out all Mitsubishi 3D TV inventory and drove sales to twice the retailer's projections.
