✨ From pop-up markets to a permanent home at The Cotton Company! 🧵🤍

Every small business has a story, and sometimes the best ideas start with taking a chance!

In this week’s Meet the Maker follow-up, we’re sharing more of the story behind Red’s Threads! Before opening her space at The Cotton Company, she spent six months participating in pop-up markets, testing her ideas, connecting with customers, and making sure her passion could grow into a successful business.

Today, she’s turned that passion into a thriving small business right here in Downtown Wake Forest! ❤️

We love getting to share the stories, hard work, and creativity behind the small businesses that make The Cotton Company so special.

🎥 Watch the full Meet the Maker interview on our website! And be sure to stop by and explore the unique creations from Reds Threads!
