Apple Crate Naturals officially opened their new storefront on Nov. 10.
This family-owned business has been a staple in the community for 27 years now. The store previously operated out of two locations but recently completed its move to one larger location to better cater to customers needs.
The new 8,500-square-foot store offers the natural products customers love, organic produce, made-to-order food at an in-store cafe and a beer and wine section.
“We are thrilled to have opened our new location and to continue serving the Fayetteville community with an expanded store and new offerings. Our focus has always been on providing local, organic foods and supplements, and this new space allows us to grow even further with exciting additions like a scratch-made kitchen, Grab N Go program and an enhanced customer experience. One new feature we’re especially excited about is our Fresh Pure Water refill station, which provides high pH reverse osmosis water for our customers at .99 a gallon. It’s part of our commitment to offering clean, sustainable options for everyday living. We’re grateful for the support we’ve received from our loyal customers and the community—it’s truly been a team effort to make this dream a reality,” shared Allison Davis, one of the store's owners.
The business’s new address is 3983 Sycamore Dairy Road. The store is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. everyday.
