South End

Charlotte’s South End has changed tremendously in recent years, with new restaurants and stores and an explosion of apartments and office space. One area where it’s lacking, though, is hotels. That could be about to change. To talk more about it and other business news of the week, Ashley Fahey of the Charlotte Ledger Business Newsletter joined WFAE’s Marshall Terry for our segment BizWorthy.

Nestled beneath South End's shiny new office towers and apartments is a 92-year-old mattress store that has survived major world events, economic ups and downs, and four generations of owners.
