W O M E N ABOUT B U S I N E S S
April/May 2025 | maconmagazine.com 83
Our mission is simple: to sell beautiful
things and give back to the community
that supports our growth. We are so
fortunate to have the opportunity to serve
our community with gi s that meet their
need for any occasion - from engagements
to celebrating milestone occasions. In my
ten years of owning Smith's, it has been a
pleasure to see continued growth and, also,
give back to our community through various
organizations like the Salvation Army and
Beverly Knight Olson Children's Hospital,
right here in Macon.
What services or products do you offer?
Smith's, which displays the rich heritage the
business enjoys and one that has spanned
six owners, is celebrating 114 years in
Dublin. As the oldest jewelry tabletop and
gi store in Dublin, Smith's is now serving
its customers from bridal registry and fine
jewelry to gi s for every occasion. Simply
put, Smith's offers a hometown feel with a
big city mindset.
What is the best advice you have ever
received, business or otherwise?
"Just because you can, doesn't mean
you should."
A friend said this to me early on in my
Smith's ownership. She was referring to
products we brought into the store - just
because something is popular or trending
right now, does not mean that it will align
with my long-term vision for Smith's.
It has been nearly ten years since she said
that, but I still find it to be true in all areas
of life. Just because I can make time for a
commitment, I always need to evaluate if
it aligns with my mission. If not, I will find
myself pulled in a million different ways -
many times at the sacrifice of my family time
or time spent working on my business.
