Debbie Best head shot Edward Jones is celebrating their 100th anniversary, and Financial Advisor Debbie Best has scheduled the opening of her downtown Fayetteville storefront to coincide with this momentous occasion Friday.

"I am excited to be opening an Edward Jones office in downtown Fayetteville because we see a need for the type of service we provide," Best said.

"This firm concerns itself with the needs of individual investors and small-business owners, and I'm happy to be bringing that kind of personalized service to this community."

Finding just the right location was a challenge compounded by supply chain issues, but Best feels, in the end, they have gotten it just right.

"I am very excited about our office," Best said.

"It has been a long time coming due to the difficulty finding a location that would suit our needs, as well as the lag time of the buildout with Covid.

"It has all turned out amazing, and Tiffany, my business office associate, and I love coming in! It is a beautiful place to work."

Best is no stranger to Fayetteville. It is her home.

"Fayetteville has been my home for 28 years. I have raised my children and built my career here, as well as developed many close friendships and business relationships over that time," said Best.

"Fayetteville is a community that has many non-profits and organizations committed to making our city and downtown a better place to live. I believe deeply in giving back and being a part of this transformation in a personal way. This has made Fayetteville a natural fit for me to open my new branch office."

Best offers a wide variety of financial services to her clients.

"I help clients with portfolio and wealth management solutions strategies, look at tax-efficient investing, retirement and estate strategies, business retirement strategies, insurance, long-term care and 529 plans to name a few," explained Best.

Best aims to help serious, long-term individual and business investors achieve their financial goals by understanding their needs and implementing tailored solutions.

"My clients include successful business owners and professionals," Best said, "as well as retirees focused on income and wealth transfer strategies."

Best hopes that folks will come out and see all that she and her new location have to offer.

Various activities are planned, including a Ribbon Cutting and Edward Jones 100 Year Anniversary Celebration.

Guests will have an opportunity to tour the new office. The event will take place on Jan. 28 at 2 p.m. at her office at 228 Winslow St., Fayetteville.
