Dixie Furniture & Mattress prepares for its final liquidation sales after decades of service.
Dixie Furniture & Mattress, a cherished staple in North Charleston for nearly 80 years, is set to close, beginning liquidation sales on January 16, 2025. Originally founded in 1946, the family-run business has expanded and adapted over the decades, providing quality furniture options to the local community. With loyal customers feeling nostalgic, this closure represents the end of an era, while major discounts during the upcoming sales offer a unique opportunity for the community.
After nearly 80 wonderful years of serving the Lowcountry, Dixie Furniture & Mattress has announced its impending closure. This beloved store, which has been a cherished part of the community, will commence total liquidation sales starting January 16, 2025. The news is sure to leave many loyal customers feeling nostalgic and a bit heartbroken.
The story of Dixie Furniture & Mattress began in 1946 when Abe Kirshtein opened the first store at 533 King Street in Charleston. It’s hard to believe that this local treasure traces its roots back to 1921, when Abe began selling furniture from a horse and buggy in downtown Charleston. Such a humble beginning blossomed into a thriving business that has become a staple in the community.
By 1961, the business had expanded with a second location in North Charleston, showcasing the dedication and hard work of not only Abe but also his loving family. The Kirshtein family, which includes his wife Edith and sons Sammy, Louis, and Sol, devoted their lives to ensuring the growth of this family-run enterprise. Today, the third-generation owners—cousins Michael, David, and Stan Kirshtein—have continued the family legacy in style and grace.
Throughout the years, Dixie Furniture and Mattress also innovated with the addition of a rent-to-own store named Speedy Rentals. This venture allowed even more community members to access quality furniture and appliances with flexible payment options. Over the decades, several additional locations opened, including stores in Walterboro and Beaufort, although the Beaufort store closed its doors in 2004, and the King Street location followed suit in 2017.
In recent times, the North Charleston and Walterboro locations underwent extensive remodeling to maintain up-to-date standards and aesthetics for customers. However, as the decision to close the remaining stores has been made, the Kirshtein family is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for their customers.
With total liquidation sales beginning in just a few weeks, shoppers can take advantage of *unmissable discounts* of up to 65%. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for quality furniture at unbeatable prices. The North Charleston store is located at 5550 Rivers Ave., while the Walterboro location can be found at 303 Robertson Blvd.. Both store buildings are also up for sale, signaling the end of an era.
The Kirshteins have been an integral part of the Lowcountry for over a century, and their contributions to the community extend far beyond just selling furniture. They have built lasting relationships with customers and emerged as a trusted name in the industry. Michael Kirshtein expressed deep gratitude for the support they have received from the community over the years.
As the liquidation sales approach, many people in the community will likely reminisce about their shopping experiences at Dixie Furniture & Mattress. For generations, this shop has brought furniture, comfort, and style into homes all around the Lowcountry, and it will surely be missed.
Although it’s a time for reflection and nostalgia, it’s also a chance to celebrate the memories created there over the decades. In the coming weeks, as shoppers flock to the stores for one last opportunity to score deals, it’s hard to imagine the Lowcountry without this family-run gem in its midst.
