The Cotton Company - what a fantastic concept that has succeeded in putting down firm roots in Historic Downtown Wake Forest.
In 2000, the W.W. Holding Cotton Exchange Warehouse was purchased with a vision for transformation. The building was renovated in phases and the end result is truly a testament to ingenuity, foresight and determination. The Cotton Company houses upscale, boutique-styled shopping in a casual yet refined environment. There are unique pieces offered by local artisans, one of a kind gifts and stunning home decor items available.
In addition to the retail items The Cotton Company also houses personal local artist's studios. Not only will you be able to view and purchase their work but also personally meet them to ask questions.
The second level hosts private parties, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners and more. I personally have attended a wedding reception at The Event Gallery and I can tell you first hand that they leave no details overlooked. First rate and an amazing atmosphere.
