Design Notes
Many of our clients come to us from an hour or more away, often from the greater Charlotte metro area. A common question we hear is, “Why make the drive to Shelby when there are design centers closer to home?” It’s a fair question—and one we completely understand. That’s why we’d like to share a few key reasons why we believe the experience, service, and value you’ll find at Greenbrook Design make the trip well worth it.
The Drive Time Is Not That Much Different
If you’ve ever navigated traffic in Charlotte—or any major city—you know how frustrating it can be to crawl along at a near standstill, just to travel a short distance. That’s why making the trip to Shelby may actually save you time and stress in the long run. Here are a few key points to consider:
-
Timewise, it’s comparable to other common destinations.
Driving to Shelby takes about the same amount of time as heading to the Lake Norman area—but with one major advantage: you’re actually moving most of the way, instead of sitting still on I-77. -
Timing is everything.
If you plan your visit between the morning and evening rush hours, it’s less than an hour from central Charlotte areas like Myers Park. A smooth, scenic drive beats city gridlock any day. -
We make your time count.
Our design process is built for efficiency. At Greenbrook Design, we offer live design sessions and have a full range of products available right in our showroom. This means you can accomplish more in a single visit—eliminating the need for multiple appointments and avoiding drawn-out timelines that can happen with showrooms lacking real-time design capabilities.
Many of our clients will tell us that they enjoyed the drive to Shelby because it was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Plus, we have some of the world’s best BBQ at Red Bridges Barbecue Lodge, or maybe you prefer their rival Alston Bridges BBQ, .Yes, it is a local ‘battle of the BBQ.’ You can always find hidden treasures in a small town, so be sure to plan your trip with plenty of time to explore Uptown Shelby. Or maybe plan to stay the weekend, we promise you will have a great experience. Read here to learn more.
