About Broad River Retail
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Fort Mill, South Carolina, we are a privately held company and one of the largest and fastest-growing independently owned Ashley Store licensees. And we’re growing! We are committed to a balanced growth strategy primarily fueled by new stores and growing into new markets. Since March 2020, we have held nine grand openings for new and remodeled stores and opened our second Regional corporate campus and distribution center in Four Oaks, NC.  In early 2022, we will open our third distribution center in Spartanburg, SC and expand our existing footprint with more stores in additional markets.

Our growth is not just measured by a bunch of stats and our balance sheet, but through our ability to inspire and motivate one another. We are different people with diverse backgrounds, intentionally connecting the dots to create a better experience for every guest that we serve and a workspace where ideas are heard and everybody belongs.  Visit us at BroadRiverRetail.com
