The Greenville Woodworkers Guild, a local 501c3 not-for-profit woodworking education organization, has partnered with Mary & Martha Services of Spartanburg County, SC, to design, build and donate (15) custom red oak bunk beds for recently resettled Ukrainian refugee families who are now living in the Spartanburg community.
Greenville Woodworkers Guild President Joe Boyd says, “This project goes to the heart of why the Guild exists. We not only teach woodworking but use our collective skills to help other organizations in our area at a time when they need it the most. Each of the dozen members who volunteered to build the beds know they will be well used and help each family establish a home for themselves here in the Upstate.”
Engineered Sleep, a manufacturer of premium mattresses collaborated and donated (30) mattresses for the project. Based in Greenville on Congaree Road, Engineered Sleep is known for being a direct-to-consumer business with products Made in the USA. Their products are consciously crafted due to the use of sensible materials such as organic cotton fabric and naturally derived latex foam.
“Engineered Sleep is excited to be able to help the victims of the war in Ukraine as they build a new life for themselves here in the Upstate,” said Engineered Sleep co-founder and partner Jay Orders.

The Bar Code Puzzle, a new book by W. E. Anderson, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.
Within the Universal Product Code, the scannable code emblazoned upon nearly every product we use today, there is a discernible order to the numbers, though the original author of the code claimed it was arbitrary. This order shows numerical ties to mathematical formulae from the pyramids and numbers pertinent to Biblical prophecy.
The Bar Code Puzzle proves these links, not through speculation, but rather through sound facts from the code itself. The connections are undeniable, and Anderson’s sobering insights are relevant to Christians and non-Christians alike. Regardless of a reader’s convictions, they will come away from this work with a new sense of wonder and a desire to reevaluate their beliefs.

After years of serving as VP for a tech company, Garrett NeSmith was ready for something more. Like many budding entrepreneurs, Garrett was not fully dissatisfied with his role in Corporate America, but he longed to build something of his own. When he began his research into franchise opportunities, Garrett says, “Superior stood out for me from day one,” and when his due diligence was completed, Superior Fence & Rail was the one franchise still standing. The rest, as they say, is history – and Garrett NeSmith’s Superior Fence & Rail story is now being written, as he opens his new fence franchise in Greenville, South Carolina.
When starting a business, franchise support is paramount.
A supportive team and enterprise are essential for any new business owner ready to venture out on their own. Franchising offers new entrepreneurs a much-needed structure, with systems in place to help them navigate new business ownership. Garrett explains, “Superior has a wonderful support system from both the owners as well as other franchisees. Help is always available if needed.” Corporate owner, Zach Peyton, is confident that Garrett will be successful in his venture, noting that he, “has demonstrated very quickly that he understands the model and is ready to implement.”
Having researched up to 30 different franchises, and finding Superior – well, superior – Garrett is eager to put the franchising system to work towards his own success. He is also ready to become a part of the Superior Fence & Rail franchisee network to help others in their own journey to business ownership when the need arises.
Greenville, SC is an ideal market for Superior Fence & Rail.
Developing new fence franchise markets can present challenges, but Zach Peyton feels certain that Greenville is an ideal outpost for the Superior brand, explaining that the locale fits the profile of the “perfect market.” The area is in a pattern of rapid growth, and Superior Fence & Rail is ready to meet the demand for fence products, as well as the need for a market leader in the fencing industry. Zach is confident that Garrett is the right choice to see this goal through, “He’ll be able to leverage his business acumen to build a strong team and lead them to be successful in the market.”
