Antiquing and thrifting have
always been Sherri Coultrup's
passion, even when working in
consulting and marketing research.
She decided to sell her items online
through eBay and Poshmark and
continued traveling and finding
new and unique items.
"I travel internationally, and just
going to the Murano factory in Italy
to get Murano Glass is exciting,"
Coultrup said.
"It's just something that I really
enjoy doing. A hobby and a pastime
became my passion. So my passion
is now going to be my store."
Her store, e Piccadilly Circus, is
named after one of London's most
popular tourist destinations.
Coultrup says she decided on this
name as her Piccadilly Circus will
be a unique shopping destination
for Fayetteville locals.
"We're going to give you wine
or water and then cookies and
sweets to try to show you how much
we care, not only about you as a
person, but you as a consumer and
for you to actually enjoy your time
there instead of being rushed in and
rushed out," Coultrup said.
Every item in Coultrup's shop has
been personally chosen by her. Her
inventory and selection of mer-
chandise will change daily, giving
visitors, guests, and customers a
unique shopping adventure and
experience every time they enter
the shop.
"I hope they enjoy treasures as
much as I love finding them. Every-
body needs a new, unique treasure
in their life." Coultrup told Up &
Coming Weekly.
"I went out of my way to procure
things for the store that I normally
would not, like porcelain and a lot
of ceramics and homemade pottery,
which a lot of people really enjoy ...
I went out of my way to make sure
that we have unique items," she
said. "ey're one-of-a-kind items."
She also wants to make the store
accessible to everyone so anyone
going in can find something they
are interested in.
She will be working with five local
vendors to bring in unique items
that she may not be familiar with —
for example, military memorabilia
and furniture.
Opening the store has been a
challenge for Coultrup because of
the pandemic and supply short-
ages. She says they should have
opened last year, but construction
and getting permits took longer.
"ey have done a fantastic job
gutting the building and completely
redid it. So it's brand new. Every-
thing is brand-spanking new."
e store will be located at 2828
Raeford Road in the remodeled for-
mer location of Sheree's Wine Shop.
e soft opening of the store will
be on May 2. e Grand Opening
and Ribbon cutting will be on May
19 at 5 p.m.
e Grand Opening will feature
giveaways, door prizes, food and
drinks, and elected officials will be
there.
