The doors are open in Asheboro for Bob Crumly’s new Everything Hemp store! The store recently relocated to a larger location to help expand their selection of clothing, home accessories, and other hemp product lines. Crumly says hemp can be used for many thing, and it’s important to break the stigma associated with hemp. “Most people, if you say the word hemp, they think either rope or marijuana,” says Crumly. “And you have to re-educated people so they understand that hemp is so much more than its connection with its cousin plant, marijuana.” If you are interested in hemp products, or want to know more swing by the store located on East Dixon Dr. in Asheboro at The Shoppes on Dixie.

What they do is a fairly simple philosophy. They show people the amazing breeds that are inside the shelters as well as the loving bond that you can share with your rescue pet through fun an
