Bringing New Life to Historic Mills and Furniture to Your Home The Mooresville Cotton Mills were among the first industries in southern Iredell County to use electricity from the Southern Power Company’s hydroelectric stations to manufacture yarn and cloth. By 1963, power from the new station at Cowans Ford ran the looms that produced the cotton and synthetic material produced by Burlington Industries plant on the historic site in Mooresville. The dynamic partnership among industries serving Mooresville and southern Iredell County provided a foundation for the phenomenal growth and development of the area. Merino’s Home Furnishings now makes its home on this site and is proud to continue the partnership that puts community development at the forefront of economic activity. With over 1,000,000 sq. feet, Merino’s offers the consumer one of the most complete collections of moderately priced furniture to be found anywhere.
