CARHARTT TO BRING RUGGED WORKWEAR TO MUSIC CITY WITH NEW COMPANY-OWNED RETAIL STORE IN NASHVILLE

by John Russel Jones

Carhartt opens its 37th company retail store in Nashville, Tenn., today, its first Carhartt-branded retail store in the state, although the company has had a presence in Camden, Tenn. since it began sewing operations there in 1993.

“We are excited to add the state of Tennessee to our retail footprint and to make Carhartt gear easily accessible to local consumers,” said Mark Kastner, director of retail store operations at Carhartt. “With skilled trades opportunities on the rise, DIYers rediscovering their passions, and a growing number of people who simply enjoy working with their hands, there is an increased demand for our Carhartt gear. We look forward to providing products to support our consumers’ lifestyle on and off the job site.”

Owned by Brookfield Properties, the Nashville location occupies approximately 4,000-square-feet, and brings 25 new employees to the Carhartt family. The location will offer durable and versatile gear for men, women, and children, as well as footwear and accessories. Additionally, the Nashville store will feature all of Carhartt’s iconic styles as well as the brand’s innovative technology including the Force® performance line, Full Swing® technology that offers full range of motion, Rain Defender® durable water-repellent finish, and Rugged Flex® technology for optimal mobility.

The Nashville store is the latest to join Carhartt company store locations across 20 states in the U.S.
