Alissa Fretwell opened a retail business in Elizabeth City in 2014 but closed the doors two years later for personal reasons.
But over the next few years she says owning her own business became a constant ânagging thought.â
âI am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason,â Fretwell told the Elizabeth City Rotary Club earlier this week.
And that is why Fretwell decided to open Bijoux Vibes in downtown Elizabeth City in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The store opened in August on Main and Poindexter streets and is located above Body Kinect Wellness Center and offers a variety of womenâs apparel for the young and old.
