A new mattress store coming to the Citrus Town Center has set an opening date, according to the Citrus Heights Chamber of Commerce.
Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage Inc. (JLL) property management leasing materials list Mancini’s Sleepworld as “Coming Soon” to 7975-B Greenback Ln. in the building that formerly held Skechers, before the shoe store relocated to the former site of Walgreens across the street. In a recent update, the company set a ribbon cutting date for Sept. 10.
The vacant store front which will house Mancini’s Sleepworld is located adjacent to Marshall’s and Half Price Books.
Skecher’s relocated across the street to the corner of Sunrise and Greenback at the end of 2024. Sunrise MarketPlace Executive Director Kathilynn Carpenter said the store’s lease expired at the end of 2024.
Walgreens, which stood prominently on the corner of Sunrise Boulevard and Greenback Lane, closed almost a year and a half ago, after announcing in 2023 that it expected to close 150 of its roughly 9,000 stores in the United States by the end of its fiscal year in 2024. A report by CNN cited theft as well as declines in prescription sales as reasons contributing to the closures.

Sacramento Business Journal reported in May that the Bay Area-based mattress company secured leases for four Sacramento area locations, including a location in Roseville, which opened in May, and locations in Citrus Heights, Rocklin, and Folsom.
The Rocklin store is scheduled to open mid-July in the Rocklin Commons center, followed by the Citrus Town Center location, expected to open one month later, according to the business journal. A confirmed opening date was not immediately available from Sunrise MarketPlace or Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage Inc. by press time.
Mancini’s Sleepworld was founded in 1969 by Carl and Patsy Mancini, according to the company’s website. The flagship store, still open today, was located in Sunnyvale, California, and was originally a full-line furniture store named Mancini’s Furniture.
The ribbon cutting on Sept. 10 is scheduled from 11:30 to 12:30 p.m. The new Mancini’s Sleepworld will be located at 7975-B Greenback Ln. in Citrus Heights.
