The Designery is expanding its presence in North Carolina with the opening of a new showroom in North Charlotte, offering local homeowners a new destination for kitchen, bath, and closet design. The grand opening celebration, scheduled for January 7, 2026, will feature a ribbon cutting hosted by the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce along with food from local restaurants and raffle giveaways. Guests will also have the opportunity to win a $1,000 gift card that can be applied toward a future home renovation project.
The North Charlotte showroom is owned and operated by business partners Carolina Preciado and Michael Simcox, who bring experience in leadership, real estate, and customer service to the venture. Together, they aim to create a design center that goes beyond product selection by offering a collaborative and personalized approach to home renovation. Their goal is to establish long term relationships with clients through transparency, careful planning, and thoughtful execution.
Preciado said the showroom is designed to serve as both a creative space and a trusted partner for homeowners looking to improve their living environments. She emphasized the importance of guiding clients through every stage of the renovation process, from initial consultation to final installation. By focusing on clarity and communication, the team hopes to deliver projects that meet both practical needs and personal style preferences.
Simcox noted that Charlotte’s continued population growth and aging housing stock have increased demand for renovation services. Many homeowners are seeking updates that modernize their spaces while adding long term value to their properties. He believes the new showroom is well positioned to meet these needs by offering expert design support and turnkey solutions.
Founded in 2007 as A1 Kitchen and Bath in Tennessee, The Designery has evolved into a national franchise brand known for its immersive showroom experience and premium product offerings. Its expansion into North Charlotte reflects a broader strategy to serve fast growing markets with high demand for customized renovation services. Through this new location, the company aims to strengthen its regional footprint while continuing to elevate the standard for home design and remodeling.
