Quick Facts: The Real American Furniture Denver Network
American Furniture Denver has 5 active locations today: the Englewood megastore at 8820 American Way, plus Thornton, Westminster, Aurora, and Lakewood. A sixth Centennial location closed permanently in late 2019 and is no longer AFW, so don’t plan a trip to that old address.
| Store | Address | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Englewood | 8820 American Way, Englewood, CO 80112 | Largest Denver-metro store; also AFW’s corporate HQ |
| Thornton | 8501 Grant St, Thornton, CO 80229 | North Denver metro |
| Westminster | 9410 Wadsworth Parkway, Westminster, CO 80021 | Northwest Denver metro |
| Aurora | 1700 S. Abilene, Aurora, CO 80012 | East Denver metro |
| Lakewood | 5390 South Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80123 | Southwest Denver metro |
| Centennial | Closed late 2019; building changed hands and now operates as a different furniture company | No longer AFW |
AFW also has stores in Firestone and Greeley, further north — outside the immediate Denver metro covered here.
Details were checked against AFW’s official pages and news coverage in October 2026. Call ahead to confirm hours before a long drive, especially around holidays.
1. Know the Real Network Before You Drive Anywhere
Several directories and even older AFW-related content still list a Centennial, CO store. It closed for good in late 2019 — Colorado Community Media reported the store changing hands in January 2020, and the building at East County Line Road and South University Boulevard now operates as Woodley’s Fine Furniture, a different company entirely.
The 5 real locations serve overlapping but distinct areas: Englewood for the widest selection, Thornton and Westminster for the north side, Aurora for the east side, and Lakewood for the southwest. Use the table above to pick the one that’s actually closest to you.
2. The Englewood Megastore: Why It’s Usually the First Recommendation
American Furniture Warehouse’s roots trace to 1898, when the American Furniture Company first opened in Denver; Jake Jabs acquired its assets and relaunched it as AFW in 1975 on Bannock Street. The Englewood megastore at 8820 American Way grew from that start into what AFW’s own listings describe as one of Colorado’s largest in-stock furniture inventories — and the address doubles as AFW’s corporate headquarters.
The Englewood store carries brands including Ashley Furniture, Jackson Catnapper, and Simmons Beauty rest alongside AFW’s house selection, and sits close enough to I-25 and C-470 to reasonably serve the Denver Tech Center, Greenwood Village, and Littleton.
Public business listings show hours of 10 AM to 10 PM every day and a phone number of (303) 799-9044 for the Englewood location, matching AFW’s own store page — still confirm both before a long drive, since holiday hours can differ.
3. Pick Your Store, Then Compare Prices the Smart Way
Every American Furniture Denver location carries a similar core product range — living room, bedroom, dining, mattresses, home office, and patio — so the real differences across the American Furniture Denver network are size, specific in-stock inventory, and which store is the shorter drive.
Once you’ve picked a store, write down the item number, price, delivery fee, and tax to see the real total, then compare the same model at another Denver-metro retailer. Our AFW quality guide and AFW vs Ashley comparison cover construction details worth checking regardless of which store you visit.
If you’re north of Denver, see our dedicated Thornton guide; if you’re east, see our Aurora guide for location-specific details.
4. Hunt for Clearance Across Multiple Stores
Each American Furniture Denver location rotates its clearance section independently, so a piece that isn’t on the Englewood floor this week might be sitting at Thornton or Aurora. If you’re flexible on timing and serious about a deal, it’s worth checking more than one.
Inspect any discounted piece before you pay:
- Look at frames, joints, and legs for cracks or wobble
- Test recliner mechanisms, drawers, and other moving parts
- Check fabric or leather for stains, tears, and odors
- Confirm all parts and hardware are included
Then confirm return eligibility before you buy. Our return policy guide lists the questions to ask, and our clearance guide covers what to inspect.
Watch Out: A cosmetic scuff on a clearance piece is usually a good deal at any American Furniture Denver store. A wobbly frame or missing hardware is not — ask before you buy, not after delivery.
5. Financing: 4 Terms to Read Before You Sign
AFW offers a store credit card issued by Wells Fargo, with 6-, 12-, and 18-month promotions on qualifying purchases at any American Furniture Denver location. AFW’s financing page says interest is charged from the purchase date if the promotional balance is not paid in full in time.
At the time of our check, AFW’s financing page listed minimum purchases of $300, $1,000, and $2,000 for the 6-, 12-, and 18-month terms.
Before you apply, read these four terms:
- The length of the promotion and the minimum purchase
- Whether interest is deferred and charged back to the purchase date
- The interest rate (APR) after the promotion ends
- The monthly payment you need to finish on time, which can be higher than the required minimum
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has warned about deferred-interest promotions, because a small leftover balance can trigger large back charges. See our financing guide and credit card guide for more detail. This is general information, not financial advice.
Avoid These 5 Costly Mistakes When You Shop Here
Most American Furniture Denver buying regrets trace back to five habits, all easy to avoid with a little planning before you visit any location in the network.
- Driving to the old Centennial address. That store closed in late 2019 and is now a different company. Use the table above for the real 5 locations.
- Assuming one store’s stock matches another’s. Check online inventory at your specific store before making a special trip for one item.
- Buying before measuring. A sectional that fits a megastore showroom may not fit your living room or front door. Measure first.
- Paying only the minimum on a promo card. Divide the price by the promotion months to find your real monthly target.
- Ignoring flaws on floor models. Photograph every scratch and ask for it in writing. Check the return policy before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
These answers cover what people look for before shopping American Furniture Denver: the real store network, the Englewood megastore, the closed Centennial location, financing, and timing. Each one is checked against AFW’s own listings and news coverage, October 2026.
What is the address for the American Furniture Warehouse Englewood megastore?
The Englewood store is at 8820 American Way, Englewood, CO 80112, which is also AFW’s corporate headquarters address. AFW’s own page lists hours of 10 AM to 10 PM every day and a phone number of (303) 799-9044, though holiday hours can differ.
How many American Furniture Warehouse locations are in the Denver metro?
American Furniture Denver currently has 5 real locations: Englewood, Thornton, Westminster, Aurora, and Lakewood. A sixth location in Centennial permanently closed in late 2019 and should not be treated as current.

No. AFW closed its Centennial store at East County Line Road and South University Boulevard in late 2019; Colorado Community Media reported the building changing hands in January 2020, and it now operates as Woodley’s Fine Furniture. Any current reference to a Centennial AFW location is outdated.

Yes. AFW offers a store credit card issued by Wells Fargo, with promotional terms on qualifying purchases. Interest is charged from the purchase date if the promotional balance is not paid in full in time, so read the terms first.

Weekday mornings are the quietest time to shop any American Furniture Denver store. For the best prices, time your visit around Memorial Day, Labor Day, Presidents Day, or Black Friday sale events.

Conclusion: Shop the Right American Furniture Denver Location
American Furniture Denver really means 5 active stores today: the Englewood megastore plus Thornton, Westminster, Aurora, and Lakewood. The old Centennial location is not one of them, and treating it as current could send you to the wrong address entirely.
Pick the store closest to you from the table near the top, check its clearance section, and read the financing terms before you sign. That combination matters more than which specific store you end up at.
