Hamrick's Inc. is a clothing store chain that serves the Southeastern United States. Its headquarters is located in Gaffney, South Carolina. Hamrick's has stores in Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. The store is similar to a department store, but focuses on low prices and a wide selection of clothing for all age groups. Hamrick's also sells home goods and seasonal items.

History

Edna Hamrick and her husband, Oliver, founded the store in Gaffney, South Carolina in the 1940s. By the 1980s it had expanded to seven locations in South Carolina.[1] Edna continued to work at the Gaffney store until her death in 2007.[2]
