Bundle & Bloom plans late August storefront opening in Deep Run
DEEP RUN — What began as a small business offering gift bundles, custom gifts and shirts is preparing to grow into a storefront in Deep Run.
Bundle & Bloom, owned by Ashley Eubanks, is planning a late August opening on Main Street beside the sandwich shop and event space in Deep Run. Eubanks said an official address and grand opening details will be announced closer to opening.
“My name is Ashley Eubanks, and I am the owner and founder of Bundle & Bloom,” Eubanks said.
Eubanks said Bundle & Bloom originally started as a gift bundling business, but the goal was always larger.
“For years, I’ve dreamed of having a store of my own,” Eubanks wrote in the announcement. “When I started Bundle & Bloom, I wasn’t in a position to open a storefront, so I started where I could, with gift bundles, custom gifts, and shirts. While those may have been the first things you saw, the dream was always bigger.”
Eubanks said she wanted to create something that would allow her to spend more time with her family while building something of her own.
“I’ve always enjoyed decorating, gift-giving, and putting pieces together in a way that feels welcoming and beautiful,” Eubanks said. “One thing that’s especially important to me is affordability. There are so many people who know the style they like but aren’t sure where to start or how to pull everything together without spending a fortune.”
According to Eubanks, Bundle & Bloom will offer home décor, seasonal décor, gifts, apparel and everyday items intended to help make homes feel warm and welcoming. The store also plans to have a space highlighting local schools.
“Bundle & Bloom is my way of helping with that,” Eubanks said. “I want customers to walk in and find thoughtfully curated pieces that work well together, feel approachable, and fit real-life budgets.”
Eubanks said her goal is for customers to feel inspired when they enter the store, whether they are shopping for themselves or someone else.
The business will be centered on seasonal décor, home décor, thoughtful gifts, apparel, school spirit items and local favorites. Eubanks described the business as being about “slowing down and living intentionally,” with a focus on seasons, traditions and everyday moments.
“My hope is to create a store that reminds you of your roots, celebrates the changing seasons with you, and gives this community a place to discover beautiful things for your home and everyday life,” Eubanks wrote.
Eubanks said the Deep Run location happened at the right time.
“The available space just happened to be in Deep Run and I just happened to have stumbled across it,” Eubanks said. “As soon as I saw it, I knew it was right for me. Deep Run has always felt like home. Small towns are special, and I want to build something here that families can enjoy and support.”
Eubanks said the community response has been encouraging as plans move forward.
“The community has been incredibly encouraging, and I’m excited to be part of the continued growth of our area,” Eubanks said.
The store is expected to be located near The Farmhouse in Deep Run, where early planning is already underway for seasonal and community events.
“We are already in the early planning stages with our new neighbors at The Farmhouse for some exciting seasonal and community events,” Eubanks wrote. “We hope to support our local schools and create experiences that give people a reason to gather, shop local, and enjoy everything that makes small-town life special.”
The announcement drew support from community members, including The Farmhouse Deep Run, which welcomed Bundle & Bloom as a new neighbor.
“We are excited at The Farmhouse Deep Run to get a new neighbor,” Beverly Cherry Pope wrote in response to the announcement.
Eubanks said Bundle & Bloom plans to hold a grand opening celebration, with details, specials and giveaways to be shared closer to opening day.
Store hours are still being finalized. Until the storefront opens, customers can follow Bundle & Bloom on Facebook for updates, sneak peeks and ordering information. Eubanks said customers can shop over the summer through preorders, and online ordering will be available once the business’s official website is finished.
Eubanks said the goal is for Bundle & Bloom to be warm, welcoming and connected to the community.
“We look forward to loving on Deep Run, NC,” Eubanks wrote. “Go Blue Devils!”
