Livingood's, the family-owned appliance and bedding retailer serving Southeast Georgia and the Lowcountry since 1976, successfully broke ground on its new, 138,000-square-foot unified facility today at 1326 US Hwy 80 E in Pooler.

The ceremony, held this morning, officially marked the commencement of construction on the expansive new facility, which is designed to bring the showroom, corporate offices, and warehouse operations together under one roof. This significant milestone for the two-generation family business will streamline the customer experience and allow the company to increase inventory and efficiency to better serve its growing customer base.

Livingood's owner, Phyllis Livingood, addressed attendees, stating, "This groundbreaking is a powerful statement about our future and our dedication to providing top-tier service. We are excited to unify our operations in one modern facility that will allow us to serve our customers even better for decades to come. As we approach our 50th anniversary in 2026, this new building secures the longevity of the Livingood’s brand and positions the second generation to successfully lead us into the next 50 years."

The event was attended by Pooler Mayor Karen Williams and Pooler City Manager Heath Lloyd, underscoring the city's recognition of Livingood's ongoing investment in local development and job creation. Representatives from Mahany Construction and Lynch Associates Architects also participated in the ceremony.

The new facility represents Livingood's continued commitment to the Pooler community as they transition from their current footprint to a modernized, consolidated operation.
