Carole Boxell, is the owner of The Village Fox Boutique (www.thevillagefox.com) located in the historical Theatre Building in the Village of Pinehurst. She made a decision to open the store in March a year ago as a result of an ongoing passion for shopping and fashion.

The Village Fox carries contemporary womens’ clothing and accessories for a wide range of ages.

For the last 20 years, Cristin Bennett has dreamed of owning her own business…in Pinehurst. She and her husband Bill, would visit Pinehurst often to play golf, shop and just enjoy the village. In 2005, they purchased a condo in Pinehurst as a second home. In 2007, they joined Forest Creek Country Club. Cristin is looking forward to building their home, which she has designed.
So….in October of 2011, banking on the chance that the economy was on the way to recovery, they decided to GO FOR IT! They put their Greensboro home on the market, moved into the Pinehurst condo. Tesoro Home Decor & Gifts (www.tesorodecor.com) opened on March 2, 2012. The business is aimed at consumers who look beyond the chain stores for a customized look for their home, or a gift for someone special.
Many of their products are “one of a kind” items that are re-purposed from former lives, and many are made right here in North Carolina.
Tesoro Decor & Gifts is located in the space formerly occupied by Teramasu, just above Cool Sweats.
