Alexis Cox and Elizabeth Poynter celebrate the opening of their new women’s apparel shop, Blythe, in Fayetteville on March 1. The pair have been friends for decades; in fact, they have their hometown, Blytheville, to thank for inspiring the shop’s name. “I’ve worked in retail for about 10 years, and Alexis and I have always talked about doing something of our own,” Elizabeth says.
