Story
A love of fashion, a new adventure, and a community that quickly felt like home.
Veronica’s time in Charleston sparked a love for the boutique industry, and when the opportunity came to own a Monkee’s, it simply felt meant to be. What began as a new adventure has grown into something even more meaningful, a place to share great style, build lasting relationships, and become part of the wonderful Southern Pines and Pinehurst communities.

Hi, I'm Veronica!
I attended the University of the South in Tennessee where I played basketball, and rode for the University’s Equestrian team. After graduating I moved to Charleston, South Carolina where I earned my Master’s degree from the Citadel and the College of Charleston.
I have been working as an elementary school educator for six years - teaching all ages, from Pre-kindergarten to Fifth grade. While I find education incredibly rewarding, I have always been interested in fashion and styling.
My time in Charleston grew my interest in the boutique industry, and when the opportunity came to own a Monkee's, it felt meant to be to start a new adventure. I could not be happier. This journey has led us to meet the most wonderful people, and become involved in a loving and charming community.
Curated With Intention
At Monkee’s of the Pines, every piece is chosen with our customers in mind. We look for brands and styles that feel current, wearable, and special, bringing together established favorites with new designers we are excited to introduce.
Our buying process is always evolving. We are constantly discovering new vendors, watching emerging trends, listening to what our customers are loving, and selecting pieces that feel right for life in Southern Pines and Pinehurst. The result is a collection that feels fresh each season while still staying true to the effortless, polished style our customers know and love.

Hi, I'm Pat!
I grew up one of eleven children in Wayne, New Jersey. I worked through college earning a BS in Business with a concentration in Marketing and Management. While I have had success running and growing a family business in Raleigh, I have always been passionate about fashion.
I have four children, three of which are daughters with first names beginning with V (Veronica, Virginia and Victoria). We all fell in love with the Monkee's stores in Raleigh and Wilmington. When an opportunity to be part of the Monkee’s Franchise became available, it was a no brainer and our V3P became a long-awaited dream come true!

Hi, I'm Jason!
Jason served 9 years in the United States Coast Guard as a mechanical engineer and fitness coach. He met Veronica at his last unit in Charleston, SC nine years ago. Jason came on board full time to help with the stores when the second location opened in the Village of Pinehurst last year. He runs the sales floor for both locations, and manages the website behind the scenes.

Hi, I'm Allison!
I’m originally from Victoria, Texas, where I worked at a local boutique assisting with management, accessories purchasing, and modeling inventory.
When my family relocated to Southern Pines, I knew Monkee’s would be the perfect fit. I now manage the Southern Pines location, help customers, schedule staff for both stores, model inventory for our website and social media, and assist with accessories buying.
I love meeting new people, trying on new arrivals, and gift wrapping. My favorite local spots are Amore Ciego for an iced vanilla latte and Southern Prime Steakhouse for the prime rib sliders. I look forward to seeing you in the store!
