How Broad River Retail finds great talent Tyler Trill welcomes McKayla Murdock, Manager of Talent Acquisition, to discuss her journey into recruiting and the role her team plays in attracting and developing Memory Makers across the organization.

McKayla discusses trends like the increased volume of applicants due to industry-wide layoffs, the importance of providing a positive candidate experience, and ongoing efforts to keep stores staffed. https://lnkd.in/e5pwWXdn

Be A Light 💡 Broad River Retail celebrated one year of the Lighthouse Fund, our in-house charitable fund built by Memory Makers for Memory Makers in need. There's no better way to reflect on the impact of the Lighthouse Fund than by spending time giving back to our communities together. Last week, Memory Makers joined in volunteer opportunities and served an incredible 140 hours across the Charlotte Metro area. To end the week on a high note, Memory Makers and their families gathered at Ridge Church in Matthews, NC to celebrate together. Games, treats and a whole lot of fun made the Lighthouse Fund's first birthday one to remember.

Supporting the communities that welcome our stores is a core component of Broad River's purpose to furnish life's best memories. We're proud to share that these community outreach efforts have successfully raised over $100,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospitals in just the first half of 2026. St. Jude Hospitals cover all costs for treatment, travel, housing and food, ensuring families can focus entirely on their child's health. This contribution shows the power of collective generosity to translate into real, lifesaving impact. Thank you to our Memory Makers and guests who made this incredible achievement possible.

Knowledge and confidence go hand in hand.
