Furniture chains to meet Strand's housing boom
By Kathleen Vereen Dayton
The Sun News
Grand Strand homeowners dreaming of a home makeover soon will have more home furnishings options. The furniture chains are coming:
Rooms To Go is constructing its first showroom on an outparcel of Coastal Grand Myrtle Beach mall.
Badcock Home Furniture & More is planning its first store in the area.
Ethan Allen Home Furnishings will present plans to the Community Appearance Board on Thursday, although a company spokeswoman said it was too early to comment on the company's plans.
These newcomers are no doubt lured by a local housing boom that shows no signs of stopping. S.C. home sales jumped 23 percent in August compared with August 2004, according to the S.C. Association of Realtors, which placed Myrtle Beach in the top three areas of the state for home sales.
Grand Strand developers plan to build five times more condominiums this year than last year and four times the number of townhomes, according to second-quarter building permits tracked by Market Opportunity Research Enterprises, a regional real estate research group.
