"Since opening the new location and introducing Lake Norman residents to their signature refined style, Cheri and Justin have never been more grateful for friends who pointed them in the right direction and a new community that also embraces shopping local. They’ve already felt the same small business camaraderie they’ve known in Kernersville, and that same endearing small town feel."

"The 3,500-square-foot store in the lakes region near Charlotte is slated for its grand opening April 27, 2024. Much like the original shop, which opened 12 years ago, the new store offers a mix of furniture, home décor pieces, gifts and jewelry."

"Accent Prone is a lifestyle boutique and a unique retail experience for shoppers in Kernersville, North Carolina and surrounding areas. Accent Prone recently celebrated its 10th anniversary after opening its doors in June 2012, and has been a member of the Rowe family of retailers since 2020."

"Small business owners have a passion for what they sell and want to provide their community with something special. Whether they offer a product, service or other consumer goods, small businesses are born from the heart and a desire to create a special shopping experience."

"When they finished school, Justin and Cheri both worked in market showroom and design, and Justin worked for the furniture market in sales and traveled to other markets around the world. Cheri had a corporate 9-5 job right out of college that she knew would not fit her creative nature or fulfill her passions long term. After about six months, they decided to take a leap of faith to open their unique and attractive store, Accent Prone."

“When you’re able to combine your passion and career with the ability to help others, there’s just no better feeling,” explains Cheri.
