FAYETTEVILLE, NC - The Olive family worked hard to make their business a wonderful success story. There is the father, Hunter; mother, Mary Erwin; and two brothers, Sed and Bert. Their advertising, graphic design and Web design is done by Bert's wife, Shelby. The business started primarily as a glass works almost two decades ago by Hunter and Mary Erwin, and since has grown to a full-service custom glass and stone manufacturing and installation facility that offers virtually all applications of glass stone.
The stone division began in the mid-'90s, when Hunter's brother, Winston Olive, looked for a source for thresholds and windowsills for his wholesale ceramic tile business. The Olives started fabricating stone in the parking lot of a glass shop, and soon one thing led to another. While installing 3â„8-inch custom shower doors, they began adding countertops for kitchens and baths as well as fireplace surrounds.
