It’s no surprise that Fayetteville has the largest percentage of veteran-owned businesses of any mid-sized metro area in the United States.* With neighboring Fort Bragg, one of the largest military installations in the world, the greater Fayetteville community sees an influx of veterans who decide to settle here. Many become entrepreneurs. Nearly 12% of the businesses in Fayetteville are owned by veterans.
Many of these businesses feature distinct items that can be great holiday gifts. Here, we are featuring four businesses and the special gifts you can grab at these veteran-owned stores.

You’ll feel it when you step in the store’s front door or scan our online store. If you are looking for items (for yourself or others) that leave behind the uninspired, boring, dispassionate, same-old everyday things you see elsewhere, you’ll enjoy shopping at Cursive.
