In this episode of Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf announces the exciting expansion of Broad River Retail into a brand-new market in Aiken, South Carolina (which is part of the greater Augusta-Aiken DMA), with a 7.0 Ashley Store!

Focusing on strategic growth, the company is set to open a 25,230 square foot store in the Aiken Exchange shopping center, adjacent to a Target store. Charlie shares the company's deliberate approach to expansion, highlighting the success of the former Augusta's store relocation and emphasizing the long-term view taken when entering new markets. The construction is slated to begin immediately, with a target opening date in early May 2024, and a grand opening potentially around Memorial Day 2024.
