After opening its doors on May 2, The Piccadilly Circus will host a grand opening today with the Greater Fayetteville Chamber from 5-7 p.m.
Located at 2828 Raeford Road in Fayetteville, the event is open to the public with gifts and giveaways available.
The Piccadilly Circus is an antique mall that offers unique pieces from all over and new pieces that are regularly placed on the shelves.
"My husband was active duty so we've been in Fayetteville for 20 plus years and I had a passion for treasure hunting, as I like to call it, finding unique collectibles and antiques," said Sherri Coultrup, owner of The Piccadilly Circus. "My collection got a little big, and my husband told me I had to do something, so I turned my passion into a business."
Previously, the building was home to Bob & Sheree's Beer & Wine Store, which closed its doors in 2018 after the owners retired. Since then, the building has been under renovation and now has a more sleek and modern look. Given the location of the building, Coultrup knew this is where she had to have her store.
"The first time I actually saw the storefront, I just knew instinctively that this was my store," added Coultrup. "Construction was like a year and a half behind due to COVID, and I stuck with it the entire time. The guy even said that he would let me out of my lease, but I said no."
With her willingness to not give up, the building was completely transformed, with new air conditioning units, new floors, and new walls.
The business is open seven days a week, Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.
To wrap up the first day, attendees were able to meet up for a social event at the Brad Halling American Whiskey Ko. in Southern Pines where a $10,000 check was presented to the Joint Special Operations Foundation for their scholarship fund. Photo pr
