No, it's not

Cheers, it's Atlanta Market Finds. At AMF, as its patrons fondly refer

to it, knowing their customers is a top priority.

Cheryl Pembleton,

owner of Atlanta Market Finds, and her employees make every effort to

remember their clientele and what styles and designs they have liked in

past shopping trips.

Having small

beginnings definitely helps a shop owner to understand the importance

of each and every customer. AMF began in 1998 in a 1,200 sq. ft. house

on Huddleston Road, since then it has faced three relocations and is now

situated across the street from the original location, only now is located

in a 14,000 sq. ft. building.

This building

is home not just to AMF, but also Atlanta Market Consigns, also owned

parents Jim and Shirley Matteo. Atlanta Designer Fabrics has fabric design

consultants on site to work with their customers, and starting the week

of Aug. 11 they will be offering sewing classes to all interested persons.

To sign up, call the fabric shop at 770-632-8800 for full details and

to register.

Another aspect

about Atlanta Market Finds that draws in its customers is the variety

of merchandise. Given one word to describe any given piece found in her

store, Cheryl would probably say "unique." Mass merchandising

is out of the question, and each room is themed to make shopping easier

for her customers.

Atlanta Market

Finds "always has 'one-of-a- kind' items not found anywhere else,"

and new merchandise is put out daily. AMF also boasts the largest selection

of Blue Sky Products in the south metro Atlanta area.

Patrons of

the store are not limited to Fayette County only, but come from all over

the U.S. to see what new treasures they might find. Regular travelers

to Florida often make a point to come through Peachtree City just to visit

AMF.

Every September

or October, Cheryl says they have a sale to celebrate their anniversary

in Peachtree City. This always draws a large crowd from all over the state

and country with people bringing RVs and vans to load up.

Cheryl says

her inspiration is "the thrill of the hunt" for unique items

at great prices to pass on to her customers. Atlanta Market Finds is listed

in Atlanta Magazine as one of the "Top 500 Stores to Shop."

AMF is also featured by BiggerBetterBargains.com as a store to visit.
