PUBLISHER'S NOTE

Four years, countless connections

As many of you on LinkedIn may know, I have recently celebrated four years with the Greater Fayetteville Business Journal. Given that GFBJ has only been around for five years, I consider it one of my greatest labors of love. For the past four years, I have worked -along with our editor Stephanie Meador- to help share the good news of Fayetteville, Cumberland and its six surrounding counties.

I believe in Fayetteville’s growth and improvements. And by highlighting the GOOD news, I believe we are lifting up not only local businesses, but our local community as well.

There have been some days when my co-workers and I have asked each other, if the Journal didn’t exist, where would some of these press releases be sent? Who would be sharing these stories? Which of the larger

media outlets would look to Cumberland and these rural counties for anything other than crime-related news? (Hint: you would be disappointed at the answer.)

Did you know that one of our local real estate powerhouses celebrated two national recognitions for one of their team members and hosted the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company last week? You can read all about it on page 5.

These GFBJ exclusive stories don’t just happen. Every connection, every contact and branch in my network has been painstakingly earned, and I am thankful for every one of them. Every invitation, text message and press release is the result of sowing years of trust, building credibility and being the source of reliable information that we do not take for granted.

Moving into the role of publisher was not exactly where I envisioned

my career going, but now that I’m here, I hope to leave a lasting impact through my work at the Journal, increasing community connections and access points to grow the Journal’s audience and building up our sponsorships to not only maintain the work we do, but expand and take it to new levels.

To every subscriber, sponsor, casual reader and social media follower, thank you from the bottom of my heart. To all of the new readers, welcome, and thank you for trusting us to tell your stories.

Happy reading!

Award-winning acquisition

COLDWELL BANKER ADVANTAGE TEAM CELEBRATES NATIONWIDE AWARDS WITH NEW LEADERSHIP

Agents and leadership from Coldwell Banker Advantage and Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage gathered at Highland Country Club on Thursday, July 16, to celebrate one of their own as she was recognized with two national achievements.

In early May, it was announced that Coldwell Banker Advantage Relocation Director Lindsey Backey had been awarded both of Cartus’ highest honors: the Champions Cup and the Master’s Cup.

THE MASTER’S CUP is awarded to the broker who achieves the highest total excellence points at the anagram level, with points earned through conversion, broker-to-broker closings and agent-generated closings.

THE CHAMPIONS CUP recognizes the broker who achieves the highest combined total of excellence points and raw conversion at the anagram level.

“I’m so grateful to accept these on behalf of Coldwell Banker. I know you all keep saying ‘Lindsey, Lindsey,’ but they certainly are on behalf of you guys. It all trickles down from the top. This wouldn’t be possible without the owners and leadership at our company who truly believe in putting people first,” shared Backey. “That is commitment and integrity that trickles from the top down that taught me how to run my department, so I am forever grateful for that.”

The celebration event honored the achievements and highlighted the impact of strong teams within the company’s regional network.

“Lindsey’s accomplishments this past year have been extraordinary, but as she would be the first to tell you, none of them would have been possible without each of you. Whether you represent the Sandhills, Seacoast, Triangle-Triad, Myrtle Beach, the mountains or

any of our affiliated regions, your professionalism, dedication to your clients and willingness to serve have made these achievements possible,” shared President of Coldwell Banker Advantage Sandhills Region Lisa Geddie.

A new C-Suite leader was also in attendance. CEO and Founder of Compass Inc. (Compass) Robert Reffkin joined them at the Highland Country Club to present the awards and connect directly with his new agents and local leadership teams.

In September of 2025, Compass jointly announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement with Anywhere Real Estate Inc., a parent company of many recognizable names in the real estate industry, including Coldwell Banker® and Coldwell Banker Commercial®.

Compass serves as a leading tech-enabled real estate services company that includes the largest residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume. The deal was approved and completed in January of 2026. The combined company is expected to have an enterprise value of approximately $10 billion, including the assumption of debt.

CEO of Huff Family Offices

Ralph Huff was able to share his excitement about the acquisition in a statement read during the event:

“I am so proud tonight to introduce Robert Reffkin, CEO of Compass, Inc. In 2012, he cofounded Compass, Inc. with Ori Allon. The inspiration for his business came from his mother, who suffered hardships working as a real estate agent. Each of you can relate to those struggles! He was inspired to use technology to improve the ability of agents to build their brand, analyze data and to conduct market research to make their business more efficient and profitable. He has invested $1.5 billion in this technology platform, and next year it will be yours. This is the reason that all of us are excited about his acquisition of Coldwell Banker earlier this year.”

This event also provided a platform for in-person connection and transparency with a corporate leader. Reffkin was able to participate in a Q&A session with realtors to share what is to come with this new deal.

“I’m proud to be here. I’m proud to work for you. You are the client. The only reason why Compass International Holdings exists is to help you grow your business. If we can’t help you grow your business, we have no reason to exist. I’m here to listen to you on what matters,” shared Reffkin. “The Coldwell Banker brand is never going away. I’m deeply proud of the Coldwell Banker brand,” continued Reffkin. “I get to go to these markets and visit all of the different brands. And your brand is unique. The balance of professionalism, ethics, heart and community care. It’s just an incredible balance. So I’m very proud to have a part in supporting this brand in the years to come.”

From ACTION, page 1

Today, Thomas is the managing broker and owner of The Real Estate Concierge, founder of the downtown wine bar The Sip Room, creator of S3 (Party) Rentals and leader of Sisters With A Purpose Foundation. She also organizes an annual music festival (Cigars and Rosé) and has launched a new women’s wellness initiative called Pilates and Pretty Vibes.

Although the ventures span different industries, Thomas said they all grew from recognizing community needs.

“All of our businesses are really centered around people,” she said. “We love people. We love the community and we love creating spaces and opportunities that bring people together.”

Entrepreneurship came early for Thomas. Her first venture was S3 Rentals, which she launched to provide photo booths and event entertainment for weddings, corporate events and other celebrations.

Real estate came next. Through The Real Estate Concierge, she helps buyers and sellers navigate the housing market and has recently expanded into property management. Her goal, she said, has always been to provide clients with a concierge-level experience.

“I like helping people,” she said. “That’s pretty much why I got into real estate.”

Ironically, the business that has become one of downtown Fayetteville’s most popular gathering spots was born while she was searching for a place to work and hold meetings for her real estate business.

“I found myself looking for somewhere that was still quiet, still had a vibe, but also served wine,” she said.

While touring available properties, Thomas noticed a unique commercial space that had once been planned as a piano bar. Curious, she asked to see it.

“I walked in and fell in love with it,” she recalled. “He asked me what I was going to do with it, and I said, ‘I have no idea. Just give me a day or two to think about it.’”

Within 24 hours, she and two business partners had developed the concept that would become The Sip Room.

The downtown wine bar offers customers a relaxed atmosphere where they can work, socialize or unwind — something Thomas felt

Fayetteville was missing.

For Thomas, business success has also become a vehicle for giving back.

Founded two years ago, Sisters With A Purpose Foundation focuses on empowering women, youth and families through mentorship, educational workshops and community outreach.

The nonprofit recently secured grants from both the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County to expand programming.

Among its initiatives are women’s seminars, youth mentorship programs, resume preparation, school supply drives, clothing assistance, spring break camps held at The Sip Room and emergency support for families.

Her long-term vision is even more ambitious. The foundation is raising funds to one day purchase a home that can provide temporary housing for women escaping abusive situations and for vulnerable families.

“That’s our main focus in the future,” Thomas said. “We’re saving so we can purchase a home and provide temporary housing for women and their families who need a safe place.”

The nonprofit also hosts the annual Cigar & Rosé Music Festival, which has become one of its signature fundraising events. This year’s festival drew more than 700 attendees, its largest turnout to date.

More recently, Thomas launched Pilates and Pretty Vibes — following

the same instinct that gave rise to The Sip Room. After discovering Pilates while attending classes at Sandhills Community College, she fell in love with the practice. When her schedule changed and she could no longer attend, she simply created her own version.

“I realized how peaceful it was,” she said. “It was one hour where I couldn’t be on my phone and I was just focused on myself. When my class schedule changed, and I couldn’t go anymore, I thought, ‘I’m just going to create it myself.’”

Launched in March of this year, the Saturday morning wellness and networking series brings together 30 to 40 women three to four times each month at rotating locations.

Operating several businesses simultaneously requires more than ambition and good business ideas, Thomas said. The biggest lesson she’s learned has been building systems, trusting others and learning to delegate.

“Putting systems in place, prioritizing my day, utilizing my calendar and having people you trust — that’s how you make it work,” she said. She also credits her sisterhood for her success.

“A lot of people think I do a lot,” Thomas said. “I do, but I also have a lot of support — people that feel like the sisters I wish I always had.”

Her faith in God also plays a central role in how she approaches both business and life.

“I’m just His servant,” she said. “He’s leading the way, and I’m just

finding ways to get better at it.”

As entrepreneurship has become increasingly visible through social media, Thomas encourages aspiring business owners to focus less on chasing trends and more on building with intention.

“I think you have to have a plan, and you have to have a purpose,” she said. “When those two are aligned, there’s nothing in this world that you can’t do.”

She also cautions against trying to launch multiple ventures too quickly.

“I would tell a young entrepreneur to start with one thing and do that right first,” she said. “You can’t just start things and not complete them. You’ve got to have passion, and you’ve got to put in the work.”

That work has required sacrifices, including missed family time while building the businesses she hopes will become part of her family’s legacy.

Even with multiple successful ventures, Thomas is already planning her next chapter. Currently a full-time student at Sandhills Community College, she plans to transfer to North Carolina Central University this fall to pursue a bachelor’s degree before attending law school with the goal of becoming a real estate attorney.

“My goal is to put all of these businesses in place so one day I can pass them on,” she said. “Then, when I’m 50, I’d like to work as a real estate attorney and have my weekends back.”

“Exceptional universities are built by exceptional leaders,” said Samantha Holmes, vice chancellor and chief of staff, in a press release. “Chuck has been central to elevating FSU’s message with key stakeholders and providing the university with an enhanced brand reputation across media platforms. I am confident the experience will further benefit him and our university.”

The American Association of State Colleges and Universities hosts the Executive Leadership Academy in partnership with the Council of Independent Colleges and the American Academic Leadership Institute. Throughout the year, participants engage in leadership coaching, skills assessments, mentoring from current and former college presidents and immersive seminars on topics such as institutional planning, governance, enrollment, financial stewardship, fundraising, public policy and organizational effectiveness.

McKinnon hopes to use this opportunity to gain a broader view of organizational leadership and institutional strategy.

“Every major facet of university leadership, from financial stewardship to public policy, relies on stra-

tegic communication,” McKinnon said in a press release. “This opportunity is about aligning our campus messaging with those complex operational frameworks. I look forward to learning from colleagues across higher education and bringing fresh ideas back to Fayetteville State.”

ASOMF announces appointment of Margaret Britten as executive director

The Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation (ASOMF) Board of Directors recently announced the appointment of MARGARET BRITTEN as executive director. Britten’s appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Foundation, one built on the extraordinary legacy of her predecessor, Renee Lane, who is retiring after seven years of dedicated and transformative service.

Under Lane’s leadership from 2019 through 2026, the Foundation grew in reach, impact and community presence, helping establish ASOMF as a vital institution within the Fayetteville and military communities.

The Foundation also extends its gratitude to Finance Director Tiffany Slifka, who served as interim executive director during the transition, ensuring continuity of operations and a seamless handoff of leadership.

“Renee Lane has been an extraordinary steward of this Foundation, and her dedication and professionalism have left a lasting mark on this organization and our community. We are deeply grateful for her service and wish her all the best in this well-earned next chapter,” said Lynne Greene, president of the ASOMF Board of Directors, in a press release. “We are equally

thrilled to welcome Margaret, whose leadership experience, fundraising expertise and deep ties to the military community make her exceptionally well-suited to lead the Foundation forward.”

Britten brings more than a decade of nonprofit and communications leadership to the role. Most recently, she served as senior director of advancement for the national nonprofit Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB), where she functioned as the organization’s chief revenue and external engagement officer, providing unified strategic leadership across development, marketing and communications.

As executive director, Britten will lead the Foundation’s fundraising, donor relations, strategic partnerships and community engagement efforts in support of the Airborne & Special Operations Museum’s educational programs, exhibits and long-term sustainability.

“I am honored to step into a role built on such a strong foundation shaped by dedicated board members, visionary leaders and most recently, Renee Lane’s extraordinary seven years of service,” said Britten in a press release. “The museum preserves the stories of men and women whose service and sacrifice helped shape our country. As the daughter of a Green Beret and a military spouse who has spent my career serving the military-connected community, I look forward to working alongside the Foundation’s board, staff, donors, community partners and the Army team at the museum to ensure those stories continue to educate and inspire for generations to come.”

Economic Development Manager Derrick McArthur earns statewide certification

The City of Fayetteville is pleased to announce that Economic Development Manager DERRICK MCARTHUR has earned his North Carolina Certified Economic Developer (NCCED) designation.

McArthur was recognized by the North Carolina Economic Develop-

ment Association during their 2026 Annual Conference in Wilmington as one of this year’s graduates of the North Carolina Certified Economic Developer Program.

“This certification is another way for me to grow professionally so I can better serve the Fayetteville community,” McArthur said in a press release. “It gives me the opportunity to connect with other economic development professionals across the state, learn from their experiences and bring new ideas and best practices back to Fayetteville.”

Offered through a partnership between East Carolina University and the North Carolina Economic Development Association, the program provides advanced training and practical knowledge in economic development.

Participants complete an intensive 84-hour curriculum covering topics such as business retention and expansion, industry recruitment, innovation and entrepreneurship, data and analytics, organizational management, legal frameworks and other areas critical to supporting thriving communities. The program

concludes with a capstone project and oral presentation.

McArthur’s capstone project focused on economic development programs that could support the feasibility of a grocery store on Murchison Road, connecting his professional development directly to one of Fayetteville’s long-standing neighborhood revitalization, food access and commercial corridor challenges.

During his five years with the City’s Economic and Community Development Department, McArthur has worked alongside small business owners, commercial property owners, nonprofit organizations, developers and community partners to advance economic development efforts across Fayetteville.

“Derrick’s certification is an important achievement, but it is also a reflection of the work he has already been doing for Fayetteville,” said Economic and Community Development Director Christopher Cauley in a press release. “He is a steady, reliable resource for businesses, property owners and community partners, and

he consistently brings a practical, service-minded approach to complex economic development challenges. This recognition is well deserved.”

From agritourism to event spaces

HOW FRED AND ANITA SURGEON PRIORITIZE PEOPLE IN BUSINESS

Fred Surgeon, with the support of his wife Anita, owns and operates Surgeon & Associates, Inc., a family of businesses with everything from agritourism, pest control, cleaning services and behavioral health services.

Fred Surgeon has been an entrepreneur at heart since his early days in college. He would invest in vending machines, laundromats, real estate or anything that would create opportunities for himself and those around him. Anita, a self-proclaimed country girl from Red Springs, had various administrative jobs after college and began working for Surgeon and Associates Inc. in 2007. Anita never saw herself as an entrepreneur and is more reserved by nature, but after the two were married in 2011, Anita blossomed into a visionary in her own right.

“All of our Sweet Valley Gives Back was Anita’s brainchild,” Fred shared. “She has such a heart, and wanted to give back on a much larger scale to organizations that are making a big impact in the community. It was natural to see her get involved in that project and want to help people.”

Anita responded, “Fred pushed me to take what I was doing to another level. He gave me the comfort to do my thing. I’m an evangelist, and we put God first in all of our businesses. We try so very hard to be pleasant for people, to be a beautiful place and to help our community.”

Fred and Anita shared the joys of their experience building a life and

businesses together.

“She’s my biggest fan and cheerleader; she’s so encouraging. She’ll say, ‘You can do this, no matter what circumstances you go through, you can do this,’” Fred shared.

Anita believes the success comes back to trust; she trusts Fred; even if the outcomes don’t work out, she trusts his character.

“He takes care of a lot of people, and he carries it with ease,” remarked Anita, “It’s not easy, but he does it with ease.” Anita’s faith in

God also keeps her grounded. “We already have been blessed with so much. I look at things from a spiritual way, and I know we are going to be okay.”

When it comes to business, Fred has been building his knowledge, skills and acumen for many years. He had the privilege to learn from A.C. Gaston, the African-American civil rights leader and entrepreneur.

“He had rules for businesses; he said ‘always look for a need.’ And that shouldn’t be self-gratification or money,” Fred explained. He said he learned these lessons the hard way. “Failure is a big teacher, particularly in my early 20s. I had to learn to align my values with the business.”

Now all of his businesses are marked by a simple principle: he puts people first. He listens to his employees and his customers.

“The key is the people for business success; we are in the people business, from senior management to front-line employees,” Fred shared. “I care how they feel about what they’re doing and what resources they have. You have to have buy-in from all levels of the organization.”

Fred wants his managers all over the country to feel like owners. He emphasizes they have the autonomy

to make decisions, and he is there as a resource. This sort of mature delegation, as well as respectful communication, has kept people around for many years. Surgeon and Associates, Inc. has staff and service providers who have been with them for decades, and Fred believes his focus is investing resources in those people and companies. Surgeon & Associates, Inc. employs 400 people across the country, and has achieved an economy of scale to provide consolidated marketing and accounting for all of the subsidiary companies. The company’s vertical integration also allows for efficiency and quality control; for example, the Mosquito Squad and Merry Maids that he owns provide services for Sweet Valley Ranch.

Listening to their customers is how their newest venture, The Sweet Spot Event Center, came to be. The president of Lumbee Bank asked if they had any space for board meetings. Fred and Anita decided to create a space near their animal paddock.

The Sweet Spot Event Center will be approximately 3,200 square feet in size and will comfortably accommodate 176 seated guests using round banquet tables while still allowing space for buffet tables and guest circulation. Fred and Anita envision this to be a space for everything from business and community meetings, gender reveals, birthday parties and even weddings. The Sweet Spot Event Center is currently under construction and is expected to open in fall 2026.

The couple is grateful to have been shown by the community that they’re a valuable part of Cumberland County. They have a faithful base of customers, and the city and county have worked with them to get utilities for their county-based facilities.

When looking to the future, the Surgeons hope their long-time employees will continue the legacy they’ve built, and that legacy includes a real community impact.

Bearded soldier to brand manager

CHAD KRAKEN’S JOURNEY TO BUILDING HIS BUSINESS EMPIRE

When Chad Kraken retired from the military, he began to brainstorm what his next chapter would look like. With an entrepreneurial spirit and a knack for quickly developing new skills, he became not just a business owner, but the face of a brand.

His brand started with beard care. Kraken developed an interest in grooming products while in the military. That eventually led him to create his own line of products. He initially tried to place those products in existing barbershops. Some were willing; others preferred established national brands. That resistance inspired him to take matters into his own hands.

He opened his own barbershop in 2019, and the response was swift. The shop has since been voted Best Barber Shop in Fayetteville multiple years in a row, a recognition he feels blessed to have earned.

Kraken attributes that success less to traditional marketing and more to how the business treats people.

“I believe the reason why we had such growth is because we give back to the community a lot. Every year we do back-to-school events; we do really cool stuff for the community…so it’s like paying it forward a little bit,” shared Kraken. “You don’t have to be the best at anything, but you have to treat customers right…I think that’s the key to the marketing aspect…I have found the best success is just being good at what you do and treating your people right. And then the word of mouth is far better than any marketing you will ever pay for.”

What began as beard products and a barbershop has since evolved into a full ecosystem of services under the KRAKEN-SKULLS

Beyond hair, ink, apparel and media, Kraken is also a gearhead. His automotive and custom car shop aims to provide customers with transparency and fairness in everything they do.

brand. Today, at his 9,000-squarefoot facility on Shannon Drive in Fayetteville, Kraken operates:

 A barbershop

 A tattoo shop

 A T-shirt company

 An embroidery company

 A website design company

 A media marketing and graphic design company

Additionally, he has a custom auto shop located just down the street.

Kraken’s expansion strategy was rooted in a simple observation: he was spending too much on outsourcing.

“What I started doing is identi-

fying things that I was outsourcing, and if I felt that whoever I was outsourcing to was taking advantage of me financially, I would go ahead and open up my own branch of KRAKEN-SKULLS to offset that cost, not only to save me money, but to employ more people and have more control. So I wasn’t relying on somebody else to create my swag or my shirts or hats or all that stuff,” explained Kraken.

Each new division reduced his dependence on external vendors and increased the brand’s ability to respond quickly and reliably. Today, Kraken employs 28 people across his various operations.

One of the most significant additions to the KRAKEN-SKULLS portfolio was the tattoo shop, launched after a conversation with a close friend who happened to be a well-known tattoo artist. The shop is now recognized among the top three tattoo shops in Fayetteville, a point Kraken calls “next level” given the number of talented artists in the city.

Kraken believes his military background makes him uniquely capable of juggling so many different businesses within his brand.

“I’m not afraid of work, and from my military experience, I have

the ability to lead troops. So why not treat this as if it’s a military unit and have section sergeants or people or platoon sergeants… in charge of each aspect of what they’re doing, and that’s kind of how I run it now,” shared Kraken.

Kraken remains deeply handson. Over the years, he has learned many of the trades housed under the KRAKEN-SKULLS umbrella, from T-shirt production to aspects of tattooing and barbering, which gives him the insight to supervise effectively.

For anyone considering entrepreneurship as a path or hoping to oversee several ventures, Kraken offered some advice.

“You need to think multidimensionally, and you’ve got to learn [and] you have to read books and understand horizontal integration and vertical integration, and understand what they mean and how to leverage your relationships in the community and with local businesses. You need to really take a step back from yourself and understand that yes, you’re building a company. Yes, it’s your name on the line. Yes, it’s going to be a lot of difficult, long, long, long hours, but it’s all for the greater good of not only the city but for your generational wealth. You have to look forward past the five-year and 10-year goal set. You have to say, ‘All right, where do I see myself in 20 years?’” stated Kraken.

Kraken concluded with a message of encouragement to Fayetteville’s military population transitioning into civilian life.

“To anybody out there who is transitioning from the military, just know that you have a lot to offer the job market. A lot of the knowledge that you picked up amongst your military career can be transferred over, and you are very valuable, and you are needed, and you are wanted,” shared Kraken.

Balancing innovation and privacy

FAYETTEVILLE POLICE EMBRACE CJIS-COMPLIANT AI TO STREAMLINE REPORT WRITING

The Fayetteville Police Department has begun using Code Four, an AI-powered report-writing tool, to streamline the process of documenting incidents based on officers’ body-worn camera footage. The goal is not to replace officers’ judgment, but to help them spend less time at a keyboard and more time in the community.

“We’re always looking for ways to improve our workflows and efficiency, and nowadays, it’s 2026, so a lot of times that is turning to technology, and when we came across Code Four, we were interested in it…Code Four seemed to be the best fit for our agency, and we had them come here to do a demo, and then we did a little test phase, and the officers reacted very well to it,” shared Fayetteville Police Major Shawn Strepay. “The ones who were not involved in the test phase were like, ‘When can I get my hands on this?’ Which was great to hear because that test phase is always important to make sure that what we’re bringing in is a benefit to the agency.”

analyzes an officer’s body camera video and audio, then generates a narrative of what took place. That draft becomes a starting point for the officers to work off of.

[The AI] assists in writing the report based on the officer’s body camera and the audio that the body camera picks up, but the officer is still writing the final report. So basically, in essence, it gets rid of the blank page.”

— Fayetteville Police Major Shawn Strepay

“It assists in writing the report based on the officer’s body camera and the audio that the body camera picks up, but the officer is still writing the final report. So basically, in essence, it gets rid of the blank page. When an officer goes to write that report, they’re not starting with a blank slate. The software analyzes the video and the audio; it documents what happened in that video and then the officer is responsible for going through that line by line to ensure that it’s accurate,” added Strepay.

Reports are still reviewed and approved by the supervisor as well.

“This is a great tool to help the officer complete that report much faster. And instead of sitting in the jail parking lot, writing the report for an hour or hours, depending on the situation, they’re able to do that in a fraction of the time and get back out there into the neighborhoods and our business corridors where people actually want them. That way, they can actually work to mitigate crime,” added Strepay.

The test phase began earlier this year and lasted roughly six months, long enough for leadership to assess both how well the technology worked and how officers felt about using it day to day. Today, Code Four is available to all patrol officers and detectives, but its use is not mandatory.

Any conversation about AI in policing inevitably raises questions of privacy, security and accuracy.

“We’re dealing obviously with sensitive case files and things like that, so we can’t just use something like ChatGPT or Gemini or Claude AI,” explained Strepay.

All systems used by the department must meet Criminal Justice Information Services compliance, an FBI standard designed to ensure that law enforcement data is stored and processed securely. The Fayetteville Police Department worked alongside Code Four to help ensure the technology upheld these standards.

“We worked on our security… for around two to three months with Fayetteville as our sponsoring agency to get us CJIS secure over in the state of North Carolina,” shared Code Four Co-founder George Cheng.

“...the privacy and the accuracy are always going to be at the forefront of anything that we decide to do,” Strepay said. The intention is to give personnel access to powerful modern tools “but in a safe, secure and compliant manner.”

This partnership between Code Four and the Fayetteville Police Department was beneficial to both the police force and the AI startup.

“Since last year, we started from zero departments all the way now to 136 departments across the United States. A lot of our active clientele is in North Carolina as well,” shared Cheng.

Looking to the future, the Fayetteville Police Department is open to further AI adoption, but only under the same strict conditions.

“We’re always looking at things to make our jobs more efficient,” Strepay said.

If new tools appear that are both beneficial and “reasonable to use” within federal and departmental guidelines, the agency will consider them. For now, Code Four represents a significant step: a way to embrace AI in a controlled, accountable manner while keeping human officers firmly in charge of the final word on every report. >>

Hope Mills celebrates groundbreaking for new Target at Camden Commons

The Town of Hope Mills and the contractors for the new Camden Commons commercial development gathered with the community for a groundbreaking ceremony on July 15 to mark the official start of construction on the development’s anchor tenant.

“I want to say one word: investment. This is an 82-acre investment in the future of our community, the Hope Mills community. It’s also an investment in the future of Cumberland County, because any type of commercial investment of this type lifts all of us in our county,” shared Hope Mills Mayor Jessie Bellflowers.

As one of the largest commercial developments in the history of Hope Mills, the Camden Commons project represents a significant investment in the community’s future. Target, the development’s anchor tenant, will soon begin construction, marking an

important milestone in the project’s progress.

“We have 82 acres here, anchored by what I believe is the best retailer in the country. I developed my first Target-anchored shopping center in 1999 in Hickory, North Carolina, and

over the years, many more, mostly in the Carolinas,” shared Fletcher Bright Company representative Fox Johnston. “For all those years, Target has been a first-class company to work with on this project…the entire team has been professional, communicative,

responsive and constructive at every step. We truly could not have asked for a better team.”

This unique Target store concept is being brought to life through the collaborative efforts of Fletcher Bright Company, Target, Busch Construction, Highland Paving and McKim & Creed Engineers, Surveyors and Planners, whose partnership has been instrumental in making this transformational development a reality.

“It started with a vision, and we didn’t get here - like you guys have said - one person didn’t make this happen; it took a combination of partnerships to make this happen,” added Mayor Bellflowers.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the store’s opening is expected in 2027.

First Bancorp (Nasdaq: FBNC), the parent company of First Bank, and First Carolina Bancshares Corporation (“First Carolina”), the parent company of Carolina Bank & Trust Company (“Carolina Bank”), announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement under which First Bancorp will acquire First Carolina in a stock and cash transaction with an aggregate value of $166 million, based on First Bancorp’s stock price of $64.22 as of July 13, 2026. The consideration payable to First Carolina shareholders consists of 1,967,017 shares of First Bancorp common stock and $40 million in cash.

The merger agreement, unanimously approved by the board of directors of each company, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 or early in the first quarter of 2027, subject to customary closing conditions, including First Carolina

shareholder approval and regulatory approval.

Carolina Bank is a privately held community bank headquartered in Florence, South Carolina, with approximately $831 million in assets. Founded in 1936, the Bank has had a longstanding presence in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina and operates 14 branches across six counties in the state. Offering a full range of financial services to individuals and small to mid-sized businesses, Carolina Bank is one of the top-performing community banks based in the Carolinas with an LTM return on average assets of 1.60% for the 12 months ended March 31, 2026.

“Carolina Bank has deep roots in the communities it serves and a strong reputation for relationship-based banking,” said Adam Currie, president and CEO of First Bank, in a press release. “Their

approach to serving customers aligns closely with our own, and we look forward to building on that foundation together. Carolina Bank’s model of local decision-making, with lending and service supported by bankers who live and work in their communities, reflects the same principles that have guided First Bank’s growth across the Carolinas.”

“This partnership brings together two organizations that share a commitment to community banking,” said Rick Beasley, chairman and CEO of Carolina Bank, in a press release. “Our customers will benefit from expanded resources, while continuing to work with the team they know and trust.”

Upon completion of the transaction, First Bancorp will strengthen its presence in South Carolina and enhance its ability to serve customers across the state. On a pro forma basis, First Bank will rank in the top

10 for deposit market share in both North and South Carolina based on June 30, 2025 FDIC deposit data.

The combination is expected to increase First Bank’s scale in key markets and support continued growth in commercial and retail banking and wealth management services throughout its entire footprint. First Bancorp plans to release quarterly earnings on July 22, 2026, which are expected to be in line with market expectations and past performance. Stephens Inc. served as financial advisor to First Bancorp, and Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard, LLP provided legal counsel. Piper Sandler & Co. served as financial advisor to First Carolina, and Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP served as legal counsel.
