CityViewNC.com | 43 Vibra feels honored her daughter named the retail store aer her. Her only request, which she said with a laugh to her daughter, when she opened her store in Dunn six years ago was, "Ya'll better not ruin my name." How did your collaboration begin? Donna: I started Vibra's six years ago in Dunn. I actually started with my sisters and now it's Megan and me. Megan: My husband bought me a vinyl machine, for designs to put on t-shirts and monogramming. Everybody loves putting their initials on things. Mom let me put my items in the store. at's how I got into the shop. Donna: Megan was working at Raleigh Radiology, which she still does a few times a week to keep her certification, and I knew I couldn't do this by myself. Megan: It's more fun with family. Can you talk about what's most important to you with Vibra's? Donna: We try to do an affordable line of clothing. It's very important that our customers are satisfied and happy. Megan: We try to get stuff that can work for everybody, for every body type and every personality. My mom's taste is completely different than my taste. We try not to keep it all the same. Donna: We have learned with a small business that it's important to get clothing that Megan would wear, that I can wear and that my mom, Vibra, would wear. In a small boutique, it's hard to focus on something that only one person likes. What does your process of working together look like? Megan: I do a lot of the buying, definitely with her input. And the books. Mom is the painter. Donna: I'm the worker. www.capefearvalley.com ExpressCare can treat minor illnesses and injuries, such as: • Fever, earache, sore throat • Flu-like symptoms, colds and upper respiratory infections • Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea • Simple or suspected bone fractures, strains and sprains • Cuts that may need stitches • Rashes and minor allergic reactions • Painful or burning urination Of course, when in doubt about the seriousness of an illness or injury, please call 911 or go to the closest emergency department.
