Profession: Registered Nurse (BSN, MCG 1998) turned pharmaceutical sales representative for over 20 years. After departing from corporate America I purchased a small but necessary and appreciated business, Richards Furriers. It has been a local Augusta institution since 1963. Originally known as Cullum’s Department Store, ladies would have a fur coat custom designed. It is best for the fur to be stored at proper temperatures and humidity levels in the warmer months, April- October. We continue this service to customers locally and throughout the Southeast in our 2000 square foot refrigerated low humidity vault. In addition we help customers redesign their fur pieces or simply refresh them with a new lining or a monogram.
