The Magnificent Seven | Helping Fayetteville Businesses Grow

Kathy Greggs believes that when local businesses grow, the whole city wins.

That’s why she helped create The Magnificent 7, a collaborative team of business mentors, advocates, and community partners working together to help small business owners learn, build, and stay strong.

For too long, too many Fayetteville entrepreneurs have had great ideas yet lacked the guidance, connections, or resources to turn those ideas into sustainable success. The Magnificent 7 changes that.

“Small businesses are the heartbeat of our local economy,” Kathy says. “When we invest in their success, we invest in Fayetteville’s future.”

Through free training, mentorship, and resource sharing, this initiative helps new and growing entrepreneurs gain practical tools to navigate permits, financing, marketing, and business expansion.

Whether it’s a veteran-owned startup, a local food service business, or a neighborhood contractor — The Magnificent 7 is there to make sure no dream gets left behind.

Building Stronger Businesses. Building a Stronger Fayetteville.

The program offers:
✅ Workshops & Training: Step-by-step guidance for business planning, funding, and compliance.
✅ Mentorship & Networking: Connections to local experts who understand the challenges of entrepreneurship.
✅ Community Support: Collaboration between businesses to share knowledge, referrals, and opportunities.

By promoting unity and shared success, Kathy is proving that Fayetteville’s growth doesn’t have to leave anyone out. When small business owners have the support they need, they don’t just survive — they thrive.

Turning Dreams Into Real Success

Kathy’s leadership has always focused on empowerment through action whether it’s helping families find stability, advocating for fair wages, or ensuring business owners have access to the tools that help them succeed.

The Magnificent 7 represents that same commitment: lifting others up through teamwork, transparency, and trust.

“When we stand together, our local economy becomes unshakable,” Kathy says. “That’s how we grow — together.”

Fayetteville’s future is bright — and it’s built by The Magnificent 7, one business at a time.
