Bob's Discount: Furniture World News: Wayfair, Bob's Discount Furniture, and Ashley Announce New North Carolina Stores for 2025

Wayfair, Bob's Discount Furniture & Ashley have all announced new North Carolina stores opening for 2025. With North Carolina cities rank among the fastest growing economies in the county, they have become prime targets for expansion minded furniture retailers. Charlotte, Raleigh, and Durham are the largest markets in North Carolina and have benefitted from the high population growth that has made the state the fifth-fastest-growing in the country. Business expansions, particularly in the finance sector, and a ramp-up in construction spending made Charlotte and Raleigh, two of the fastest-growing economic regions in the United States last year, while Durham's economy also grew more quickly than the national average. As one of the fastest growing major US markets, North Carolina will be top of mind for expansion focused furniture retailers.
