CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Designery, an immersive, full-service kitchen, bath and closet design center featuring high-quality cabinets, countertops and flooring, hosted a grand opening event on Wednesday, Aug. 27, for its newest North Carolina location in Charlotte.

The Designery South Charlotte owners Tim Gunnels and Craig Ausrud first announced they would be opening The Designery South Charlotte at the Charlotte Home & Remodeling Show in February.

"Charlotte has experienced significant population growth in recent years and is now the country's 14th largest city," Gunnels said. "Craig and I believe Charlotte's strong home construction and renovation market is perfect for the turnkey installation, demolition services and interactive design that The Designery offers."

Both Gunnels and Ausrud have experience in management and design. Ausrud holds a degree in mechanical design from Western Technical College in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and Gunnels has a mechanical engineering degree from Louisiana Tech University and a master's in engineering management from Christian Brothers University in Memphis.

"From the moment we met the teams at The Designery and HomeFront Brands, we knew joining The Designery franchise was the right choice," Ausrud said. "Their vision perfectly matches our experience, and we're confident they'll help us accomplish the growth we want to achieve."

The Designery South Charlotte will serve residents in more than 20 cities in North and South Carolina, including Charlotte, Indian Trail and Matthews, North Carolina, and Fort Mill and Tega Cay, South Carolina.

The Designery's in-house design expertise and extensive selection of products, including more than 100 cabinet styles and over 25 color options for closets, provide advantages to both homeowners and contractors. Its showrooms provide the ideal setting for personal design consultation, material and finish selection, and a virtual reality design view.
