My Business: Ole River Fabrics is a retail store that sells home decorating fabrics, including upholstery, drapery, bedding, and outdoor fabrics, such as Sunbrella. Sunbrella is used for indoor upholstery and window treatments as well as outdoor applications, such as furniture, boats, campers, etc. We design, fabricate and can have the product installed for you.
Many of you know my side-kick, Anthony (Tony) Whaley and know that he is a very talented individual. We are capable
of measuring for your job, designing something for you, and seeing it through to completion.
Most banks can quote growth figures and at M&M we’re proud to cite those numbers. But we’re most pleased with the way we’ve helped our communities to grow. We know that our success as a bank depends on how we help our customers achieve financial success.
“The important things haven’t changed... and they never will.” Community, Relationships and Personal Service.
