EARLY BRANCH, S.C. — Frampton Construction plans to build a new 300,000-square-foot distribution facility in Early Branch for Le Creuset of America, a kitchen supply retailer that operates boutique and outlet stores around the country. Set for completion in late 2025, the facility will feature space for bulk and direct-to-consumer distribution, general storage and a two-story designated office space spanning 22,000 square feet with amenities including locker rooms, a kitchen/breakroom, outdoor patio with a grill and a stone walking path surrounding a pond. The space will also feature a lobby and a 2,180-square-foot storefront that will display Le Creuset’s cookware. The build-to-suit facility will sit on 62 acres along Bob Gifford Boulevard and consolidate the tenant’s operations in the area, as well as create 30 new jobs. Architect McMillan Pazdan Smith designed the facility to be expandable by 120,000 square feet.
