About the company
1915 South sells furniture, mattresses and home accessories to households through stores carrying the Ashley name. As an independent Ashley licensee, it runs its own showrooms and distribution operations within the brand's retail network. Customers browse coordinated room displays and a dedicated mattress gallery, with delivery, financing and product protection available alongside their purchases. The business earns revenue from home furnishings sales, backed by distribution centers that support its stores and deliveries to customers. Its roots go back to a family hardware store opened in Pelham, Georgia, in 1915, and its headquarters is in Thomasville, Georgia.
