A new Marshalls store opened Sept. 17 in North Augusta’s Edgewood Square shopping center, adding another off-price retailer to a corridor that has drawn several new store openings this year.
The store brings the chain’s mix of discounted clothing, home goods and beauty products to North Augusta shoppers. Marshalls operates roughly 1,200 stores across 48 states plus Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, and the company’s president has pointed to continued store growth as part of its national expansion strategy even as many retailers pull back on new locations.
The opening makes Marshalls the latest tenant to land at Edgewood Square, which has added multiple stores in recent months as the shopping center fills out. Local shoppers have been able to preview the new store ahead of its debut, with the retailer marking the opening with the kind of promotional activity typically tied to a new store launch.
The Marshalls opening also lines up with a community give-back push tied to the store’s debut: organizers highlighted the Augusta Dream Center, a regional nonprofit that provides food, clothing, medical care and education services to residents across the Central Savannah River Area, as a beneficiary connected to the store’s opening activities.
For North Augusta, the addition continues a pattern of retail growth along the Edgewood Square corridor, giving residents another option for discounted shopping without crossing into neighboring retail districts.
