THOMASVILLE- 1915 South’s new distribution center recently opened its doors and is fully operational. The state-of-the-art facility provides 85-100 jobs for the Thomas County area, with room to grow.

Owner, Russell Turner stated, “When in the planning stages, our team visited several distribution centers in the US to develop a layout and processing area that would streamline furniture assembly and delivery, while also providing a cohesive customer pick-up area. Whether they’re purchasing a side table or a full home of furniture, we’ve invested to meet the changing needs of our customers.”

The decision to open a new DC came from growth and opening 17 new stores over the last ten years. The DC is about 105,000 square feet of warehouse and loading area with an additional 40,000 square foot mezzanine area providing offices, training room, workshop, employee lounge, and an outlet store space for customers to shop on-site. There is also an on-site fuel station and truck wash. The new distribution center will provide processing and delivery services for eleven Ashley stores in three states, expanding the previous delivery area.
