CHARLOTTE, N.C. // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // Feb. 21, 2024 – The Designery, an immersive, full-service kitchen, bath and closet design center featuring high-quality cabinets, countertops and flooring, will showcase a new Charlotte, North Carolina location coming soon with an appearance at the Charlotte Home & Remodeling Show at the Park Expo and Conference Center Feb. 23-25.
The owners will be on hand at the Charlotte Home & Remodeling Show Feb. 23-25 to introduce themselves and their new offering to the community
Owners Tim Gunnels and Craig Ausrud believe Charlotte’s strong home construction and renovation market will be welcoming to the turn-key installation, demolition services and interactive design features The Designery offers. The Designery South Charlotte team will be at Booth 934 at the home show.
“Charlotte has a lot to offer,” Gunnels said. “The city has a healthy lifestyle, it’s a safe city and there are a lot of things to do in the area. That makes it attractive for continued growth, but sometimes people can feel overwhelmed when they start a home remodeling project. We believe The Designery’s use of virtual reality and quality products helps to take some of the mystery and fear out of the design process.”
Ausrud added that The Designery’s consultation model and visualization technology aligns perfectly with his and Gunnels’ professional backgrounds.
“We discovered The Designery while searching for a franchise opportunity and felt the business model suited our backgrounds and entrepreneurial spirit,” Ausrud said. “Once we met the people at the parent company, HomeFront Brands, we knew we had found the right business for us.”
Both Gunnels and Ausrud have experience in design and management. Gunnels has a mechanical engineering degree from Louisiana Tech University and a masters in engineering management from Christian Brothers University in Memphis. Ausrud has a degree in mechanical design from Western Technical College in La Crosse, Wisconsin and has been trained in business management and lean manufacturing.
The Designery’s in-house design expertise and extensive selection of products, including more than 100 cabinet styles, 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.
