SEPTEMBER 20 - 26, 2017 UCW 45 WWW.UPANDCOMINGWEEKLY.COM Best Consignment Shop High Cotton 2800 Raeford Rd. (910) 483-4296 or www.highcottonconsignment.us High Cotton Consignment's goal is to reduce the amount of waste in the shopping industry by taking high- quality merchandise and finding it a second home. A large number of high- fashion items and expensive merchan- dise gets thrown away despite being in great condition. Of course, having an organized closet is great, but instead of tossing the twice worn dress, sell it! High Cotton Consignment works with designer clothing, shoes, denim, accessories, handbags, furniture, home goods and more. It is selective with its stock, which is beneficial for buyers as well as sellers. For buyers, it means that they are guaranteed to find new, high-quality items available for a fraction of the original price every time they visit. For sellers, it means that their items will not sit around the store for very long. Best Jewelry Store Rhudy's Jewelry Showroom 2410 Murchison Rd. (910) 488-7571 or www.rhudysjewelry.com Year after year, our readers vote Rhudy's Jewelry Showroom as the best jewelry store in town. The business's founder, Rhudy Phil- lips, was a lot of things. He was a soldier. He was an accountant. He was a man who loved people. When he started selling jewelry in the 1970s, the showroom was open by invitation only. Word got out about the high-quality merchandise and his impeccable business standards and customer service. Today, Rhudy's makes custom jewelry and performs repairs on the premises. With an impressively large inventory and price points to fit any budget, the busi- ness has grown, but the integrity and attention to detail remain the same. That is what keeps people coming back. Best Lawn & Garden/Nursery Bell's Seed Store 230 E Russell St. (910) 483-8400 or www.bellsseedstore.us Bell's Seed Store has been an in- stitution in Fayetteville since 1919. It was the first Lawn and Garden center in Cumberland County. The family- owned business is focused on what is local. With almost 100 years of experi- ence, the Bells and their staff under- stand what plants need in the area, which is why most of the plants and starts come from local growers. The fact that Bell's buys local also significantly affects the local economy. Bell's has stock for everything from a small home garden to larger land- scaping and contractor projects. No other store can match the personal and attentive service at Bell's when it comes to all lawn, garden, patio, outdoor decor, tools and nursery issues and questions. Larger chain stores can't provide such service and specialized attention.
