Hamrick's Inc. is a clothing store chain that serves the Southeastern United States. Its headquarters is located in Gaffney, South Carolina.[1] Hamrick's has stores in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The store is similar to a department store, but focuses on low prices and a wide selection of clothing for all age groups. Hamrick's also sells home goods and seasonal items. The company also creates its own private labels, including Southern Lady,[2] Links, Seven Forty-Two, and N Touch.

History

[edit]

Hamrick's is a family-owned and operated business that has been in operation for more than 60 years.

Oliver and Edna Hamrick founded the company in 1945 when they bought a small grocery and general merchandise store in Gaffney, South Carolina. By the 1980s it had expanded to seven locations in South Carolina.[3] Edna continued to work at the Gaffney store until her death in 2007.[4]

Hamrick's currently has 21 outlets in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia.
