Riverside Furniture Corporation will create 50 new jobs with a $5.4 million investment for a warehouse and distribution center in Caswell County. Riverside Furniture Corporation designs, manufactures and distributes residential furnishings to 3,000 furniture retailers across the United States. Riverside’s additional 300,000-square-feet of distribution and warehouse operations in Caswell County will reduce shipment lead times to retailers in the Eastern United States from receipt of order. In addition to this next phase of growth, Riverside is currently renovating the historic YMCA on Main Street in High Point to create a state-of-the-art showroom and product development center for year-round utilization for the furniture industry.
“Riverside’s investment in North Carolina, including both the new High Point showroom and the Caswell County distribution center, is a combined $15 million, which is a reflection of our growth as a company and the expansion of service to our customer base,” said Fred Henjes, Chief Executive Officer and President of Riverside Furniture Corporation. “Because the distribution center is situated on 50 acres of land, the campus will give us the ability to expand.”
