About the business owners:
 
“Julie and Bill Crawley are residents of Hillsborough. Bill started his career in 1975 delivering office supplies and furniture on a truck in Wilson, NC.  In 1978 Bill and Julie were married and the real partnership began as they headed from their hometown of Wilson, NC to Raleigh where they both entered the Office Furniture Industry in sales until 1983.“ After series of business events through the years,  Julie and Bill were back in the Office Furniture Business and continue today celebrating 48 years and counting.  Both works today in the multiple Companies of Office Furniture, Construction, Real-Estate Holding and Management.  Since 2014 they have tried to continue to give back to others any ways they could help.
 
In January 2019 the Crawley’s purchased the old McBanes Store at 7311 Hwy 70, Mebane, NC, beside Mebane Lumber Company and for four years in their spare time have totally remodeled and added on to make this the new home of The Shops of Mebane.  They have moved their offices to the site and have begun to stock the building, with their first plan to sell off their existing 16 trailer loads of goods.   All existing businesses continue with The Office Furniture Store anchoring with a new in stock 260-page catalog, sharing space with Julie’s Granny’s Treasure Box."
 
As always, we appreciate your RSVP if you can attend the celebration.
