He was a tenacious business man who earned the respect of his employees and the loyalty of his customers. He and his wife raised two sons, Mike and Garvey and they both grew up learning and working in the business. Mr. Bazemore opened stores in other locations as the years went on. We still have locations in Wilmington, New Bern and Clinton today. After his passing in 1992, Mike and Garvey took over the business. In 1993, they moved it to its current location where they were able to house the business all under one roof. Many have said that Mill Outlet Village is like several small stores because of the wide variety of supplies we offer. Staying true to what their father envisioned, Mike and Garvey strive to keep their prices low and their selection huge. If we do not carry what it is you are looking for, please ask.

It is our hope that we will continue to build on the solid foundation we were built on and remain the only source for fabrics for our many loyal customers. read more
