Des Moines-based and family-operated Homemakers Furniture is headed to eastern Iowa and will soon break ground on its second location in the state.

The company announced plans in January to open a second location in Tiffin, which they said will create 200 jobs in Johnson County.

Construction of the store is officially underway with a groundbreaking ceremony at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15. The groundbreaking will happen at Homemakers' future location, just south of PinSeekers in the Park Place development , a mile north of I-80 off I-380 between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
