❤️ Over 30 Years of Southern Hospitality in Sanford, NC
Faye and her husband, Tommy Schulz, opened Mrs. Lacy’s Magnolia House in December 1995, turning a beautiful historic Victorian home into a place where friends, families, and visitors could gather for delicious homemade meals and desserts.
What started as a dream became something truly special.
Over the years, Mrs. Lacy’s has welcomed generations of families, celebrated countless birthdays and anniversaries, hosted friends from across the country, and become a special part of downtown Sanford.
But for Faye, it’s always been about more than just the food.
It’s about the people.
It’s about friendships, family traditions, and making everyone who walks through the door feel welcome.
And after more than three decades, that same spirit is still alive at Mrs. Lacy’s Magnolia House!
