OK, I'm not entirely sure what happened here (housing market crash related perhaps?), but it has the earmarks of being a big mess both for customers and the new owners, who have apparently put themselves in the unenviable position of running a store under the same name while having to explain to customers how they have no connection with the previous owners nor any responsibility to make customers whole vis-a-vis their dealings with same. I give them points for apparently making a good faith effort in that regard though. And where does this other company TRS<\/i> fit into the picture?<\/p>\n

I believe this is the third store on the highly visible left-front side of Sandhills to have something bad happen to it after The Atlanta Bread Company<\/a> and Sofa Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/b>:<\/p>\n

On the night of Saturday 25 Oct 2008 on my way back from Red Robin, I saw a new sign on Ashley. It was an official notice from the Sherrif or a Magistrate to the effect that Ashley either had to pay their rent or show cause why they shouldn't be evicted. I didn't have my camera with me, and on Sunday the 26th, it was gone<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12 April 2010<\/b>: Added full street address to post title.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 21 May 2010<\/b> -- Apparently this place will become a Gold's Gym<\/i>. I had previously reported that the Gold's<\/i> would be going into the neighboring former Sofa Express location<\/a>, but that seems to be a temporary presale operation only, with the actual gym going here:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 14 July 2010<\/b>: The Gold's Gym<\/i> setup is done, and the temporary gym\/presale in the old Sofa Express<\/a> building is closed, with the new gym now running in this building.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 25 April 2018<\/b> -- Ashley<\/i> has returned to Sandhill<\/i>, in the former H. H. Gregg<\/a> location at 230 Forum Drive:<\/p>\n
