Elizabeth Edwards will open a furniture store in Chapel Hill with an anticipated October opening, according to the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Center.
Dwight Bassett, economic development officer for Chapel Hill, says Edwards has leased space in Rosemary Village at 400 W. Rosemary St. downtown, near the Greenbrudge condo towers, Mark Schultz reports.
The store, called Red Window, will feature a mix of styles and prices patterned after a charity store called The Red Door that her mother managed when she lived in Japan, the visitors center says.
While on her book tour for "Resilience," Edwards told reporters that she had bought a large selection of furniture in High Point and taken a business license from the town of Chapel Hill.
The Rosemary Village building is on the corner of Rosemary Street and Mitchell Lane in downtown Chapel Hill. The mixed use building features commercial retail and office space facing Rosemary Street, with 30 feet of window frontage and 40 condominiums.

Re: E. Edwards to sell furniture
Here's my question. The story says that Saint Elizabeth was inspired by a store that sells furniture to benefit a charity. Please clarify -- will her store benefit the poor or further Elizabeth and her ambulance-chasing, cheating husband and their poor, unfortunate children, who are little more than accessories for the Edwards' appearances in the national media.
