Fantastic Furniture CEO Keiron Ritchard said an announcement will be made when the shop is ready to open.
"We're thrilled to announce that yes - the rumours are true, Fantastic Furniture is coming to Orange," Mr Ritchard said.
"We've chosen the beautiful, vibrant and growing city of Orange as the site for our latest store because we believe that all Australians, especially across our regional centres deserve fantastic furniture, at a fantastic price.
"Being connected to our local community is extremely important to us - we are a grass roots Aussie company and we believe in Aussie jobs and Aussie manufacturing."
He said Fantastic Furniture kept all its employees in jobs throughout the past year, and "are even more excited to be creating new jobs for locals in and around Orange".
"We hope that we will provide a boost to the local economy too by doing what we do best - offering great furniture and homewares at an affordable price," Mr Ritchard said.
He said the development and fit out will take some time.
May the fourth be with Games N More
Following a fire in Summer Street on Easter Monday, Games n More has been forced to relocate and it is about to reopen at its new premises.
Games n More owner Nic Drage said the new shop will open in Lords Place on Tuesday, known as May the Fourth or Star Wars Day.
"It's also the fourth year anniversary as well, it's all coincidental," Mr Drage said.
He said although he did lose stock due to the fire, he also managed to recover plenty of stock and shelving.
The shop sells games and a variety of trading cards, tabletop role-playing games, miniatures and board games and puzzles.
"We've still got all the same stock," Mr Drage said.
He said he was forced to shut for a month due to fire and water damage to the building.
"We made some phone calls to some local commercial real estate agents about what was available quite quickly," Mr Drage said.
"Gary Blowes said Need a Nerd was moving [to Peisley Street] and asked if we wanted to have a look.
"It's the right size for us and that's how we decided it would be the right one."
However, he said the new shop has a different layout.
"We have now got a dedicated tournament room," he said.
Just like before, the shop will be open seven days a week and will open at 11am.
It will open until 4pm Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, to 9pm Thursday and Monday and 11pm on Fridays.
