Freight. ���It���s military-driven and a good thing for us and all the local home centers. We���ve been selling a lot of saws, nail guns, compressors and tools used to work on cars.��� Dick���s Sporting Goods employee Christina Bruwell said the Fayetteville store has seen more traffic as of late and many of the customers are filling their shopping bags with PT clothing. Military personnel have been using other services, as well. Jimmy Hege, general sales and operation manager at Jiffy Lube on Yadkin Road knows at least one trend of the Army: ���We���re generally busiest the two weeks they get paid,��� he said. ���But we���ve had a few weeks to buck that when we were slammed. It���s been good, with us doing 30 to 50 cars on days that were not as busy in the past.��� And what better way to reward someone for patiently waiting and tending the homefront than with a small box from a jewelry store. ���We���ve seen a small spike in business, guys coming in for gifts, making up for when they���ve been gone maybe a few engagement rings,��� said Wally Hinkamp of Hinkamp Jewelers. Beverly Hall, owner of Salon 360 on Raeford Road, didn���t anticipate the troops returning, but has gotten new military customers after last year���s remodel and reorganization. The salon is one of the oldest in Fayetteville. ���We generally stay the same customer-wise since we���ve been around forever, but yes, I do see an increase in the past few months,��� Hall said. ���One thing that recently surprised me was when a military woman came in and told me other retailers and shops didn���t give the military a discount. We���ve done that all day and every day for as long as I can remember. That really upset me thinking others don���t offer a discount. I���m thankful for the job they do and for all the business our military gives everyone in this town and country.��� That���s a sentiment echoed by Colleen Wellons, owner of Tangles Salon on Raeford Road. ���The and women of the Tangles Salon military menvital not only to Tanare gles Salon, but to our community as a whole ... our business, like so many others, thrives in the wake of their homecoming. We will continue to proudly serve our soldiers and their families, and we thank them for their business and their service to our country.��� CV FAYETTEVILLE ACADEMY Offering exceptional opportunities since 1970 Academy Facts ��� Pre-K through grade 12 college preparatory school ��� Lower School iPad program ��� Average SAT score 1709 for Class of 2012 ��� 82% of students taking AP exams received a score of 3 or higher ��� Overhalfofcurrent7thgradestudentsqualified for the Duke TIP program www.fayettevilleacademy.com 3200 Cliffdale Rd. s Fayetteville, NC 28303 s 910.868.5131 26 | January/February ��� 2013
