IT’S OUR PURPOSE
Together we are furnishing the homes of our guests, providing careers and opportunities for our teams, and striving to make a lasting difference in our community.
WHAT IS A MEMORY MAKER?
At Broad River Retail, our language is vitally important to us, and we’re intentional when we refer to our employees as Memory Makers. As a company, we feel called to
furnish life’s best memories
and we believe each person at Broad River plays an important role. Whether with co-workers, guests, our families, our friends, or our community – we strive to work together to make those memories with one another.
Stories from the River
Broad River Retail is thrilled to announce a brand new podcast series, Stories from the River. This show will explore the personal journeys of our very own Memory Makers. We’ll bring you closer to all areas of our company through a fun and inspiring mix of interviews and standalone narratives.
You’ll hear personal experiences from our stores, Distribution Centers, Call Centers, and corporate campuses giving listeners a front-row seat to what it’s really like to be a Memory Maker furnishing life’s best memories every day.
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.
By The Numbers
a note from our LEADER
Welcome to Broad River Retail. Technically, we’re a retail company that owns and operates Ashley HomeStores throughout the Carolinas and Georgia. But, if you pull back the curtain, I think you will find that we are so much more than that. We are a purpose-driven organization, and it inspires everything that we do. We think about living out our organizational purpose through our passion for Furnishing Life’s Best Memories for others – for our Memory Makers, our Guests who we have the privilege to serve, and our neighbors in our communities.
We strive to act with intention and demonstrate our genuine care for others. We want everyone who interacts with The River to be inspired, feel warmth, and a sustaining joy. Everyone matters and the experience you have with us matters too.
If you decide to work with us, shoulder to shoulder, we hope you will soon realize that your success is truly our scorecard. We want you to achieve your goals and dreams, and we will do our very best to help you and empower you to grow, learn, develop, improve, and thrive.
We like to say that we will grow as far as our people will take us. And, if you look at our Company’s history, you will see a remarkable growth story. But, the secret behind that story is that it’s really one of a composite of individuals who have grown personally and professionally during their time at The River, ultimately propelling their careers and the success of this Company.
We love growth stories that occur within our Company, and we hope that you will be a part of our next amazing story!
Let’s Furnish Life’s Best Memories together.
