MOUNT PLEASANT — An Atlanta-based home decor and furniture design retailer is ready to welcome customers to its first South Carolina location in the Lowcountry.
Ballard Designs will open at 10 a.m. Feb. 24 in the 9,077-square-foot space formerly occupied by home furnishing store Pier 1 Imports at 1128 Market Centre Blvd. in Mount Pleasant Towne Centre. It features a “uniquely curated” selection of classic and contemporary pieces.
“Our new location … presents a great opportunity to offer new — and existing — customers a unique in-person experience in designer home decor,” said Dominic Milanese, vice president of retail at Ballard Designs.
A shopping center representative called Ballard “the perfect addition” to the mix of retailers in the complex on U.S. Highway 17 near the Isle of Palms connector.
The store will be open 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday. Founded in 1982, Ballard Designs operates 19 retail stores across 13 states in the U.S.
The Belk-anchored shopping center is owned by Baltimore-based Continental Realty Corp.
