Retail Therapy: Local Businesses Have High Hopes for 2015
Fayetteville, NC – We’re still off-the-Skibo-track this week, checking in with three more locally owned businesses about their experiences in 2014 and outlook for 2015.
Without further ado:
The business picture was brighter in 2014 at Dogwood Darlins at 4648 Bragg Blvd., said Justice Reyes, who runs the shop with her mother, Tammy Currin. The Southern-themed shop, started in April 2012, sells whimsical and colorful home decor, shabby chic furniture, gifts, jewelry and some clothing, including T-shirts.
“We had a very good year,” Reyes said. “My motto is, if you do a little bit better than you did before, that’s good.”
