Dear Editor,

We, Katherine and John Herring would like to extend our thanks to the community of Holly Springs for the support of our business, Relevé Dancewear, which opened in July 2006 in the Holly Springs Crossing shopping center. We credit the success of our business, to the citizens of Holly Springs and surrounding areas who have been supportive of their endeavor to bring more specialized retail opportunities to the growing town.

In March 2009, we were given an unexpected opportunity to open a second Relevé location in Centrum Station in Cary, NC. The second location has allowed us to serve not only the residents of Holly Springs, but also a broader base of customers in the greater Raleigh area. While the goal has been to maintain the two locations indefinitely, the lagging economy has made the consolidation of the two locations necessary at this time. We plan to return to Holly Springs in a location that is more comparable to the Cary store as soon as circumstances allow.

We definitely view this move of the Holly Springs location as temporary. Our lives are centered in the Holly Springs community and we will be looking to ‘come home’ as soon as possible.” We plan to continue to be actively involved in the Holly Springs community, maintaining our relationships and memberships with the Holly Springs Chamber of Commerce and the Holly Springs Women’s Club. We sincerely appreciate the continued support of the Holly Springs community and look forward to serving our loyal Holly Springs customers at the Cary location of Relevé Dancewear. Katherine and John Herring
