Specializing in wedding invitations, all-occasion stationery and unique gifts, Ebeez adds a little spice to the ever-eclectic Dickson Street in Fayetteville.

The store is filled with picture frames, a large selection of university and Greek life memorabilia, and knickknacks that make for perfect birthday and wedding presents. Ebeez is the exclusive dealer of the Niven Morgan and Isabella lines of bath and fragrance products.

Ebeez owner Becky Bull just marked her 10th year in retail. Formerly working out of her home, Bull has always had a knack for stationery and paper goods. Her home-based business started with jewelry and expanded when she purchased a friend’s stationery and invitation company.

With her move into an 1,800-SF retail store in the Three Sisters Building on Dickson Street, Bull added gifts and specialty items. She visits four to six product markets per year.

“I try hard to find unique gifts for all ages, things that you couldn’t find anywhere else,” Bull said. “I have my black belt in shopping.”

Bull said she credits the store’s success to providing personalized services for all ages and price ranges. Bulls finds that about 70 percent of her business is spent dealing with bridal invitations and goods.

Ebeez employs five people, Bull said. She spent about $10,000 to start the business.
