Description
Akers Center is a major Gastonia NC shopping center known for its many big-box anchors including Ollie’s, Roses, American Freight, Gabe’s, and Home Outlet. It offers anywhere from 1,750 to 35,585 square-feet of Retail space for lease within one of the area’s most active commercial corridors. Located at 1403-1493 E Franklin Boulevard in Gastonia, this property benefits from over 20,000 vehicles per day along E Franklin, and is just 15 minutes from Charlotte, one of the state’s largest metropolitan areas.
Situated a half-mile from I-85 and in close proximity to other major regional shopping destinations, this center serves both local residents and commuters traveling between Gastonia and the greater Charlotte metro. Gastonia continues to benefit from population growth and its location along key transportation routes, making it a strong market for national and regional retailers. Businesses seeking retail space outside of Charlotte will gain access to established neighbors and a steady consumer draw, with this Gaston County retail center.
Commercial suites at this center are available to rent for anything from traditional retail storefronts and restaurants to offices to medical or other professional service providers.
