Our Team
Grant Alexander
Grant Alexander is the new owner of Campania Fine Moulding, after years of running other successful businesses. Originally from Dallas, Texas, Grant completed his undergraduate degree at University of Richmond and pursued a real estate career for several years while completing his MBA at UNC-Chapel Hill.
After school, Grant and his wife Heath, an interior designer, relocated to Charlotte, where Grant opened a successful Which Wich store that grew to nine locations in nine years. After selling the local franchise, he heard about a new opportunity at Campania and jumped at the chance to lead the business.
“Campania had a great reputation,” says Grant, “I knew it would be an attractive business that would grow with Charlotte.” He loves the shop’s South End location next to Dilworth Artisan Station, and says the best thing about his new line of work is “meeting cool, interesting people.” Campania sells only to the art trades, which includes artists, photographers, designers, and galleries.
“We want to keep doing what we’re doing, and keep high standards, as one of the best frame shops in the Southeast,” says Grant. In his spare time, Grant enjoys spending time with his family, including two children, and coaching their sports teams. He also shares his time with West Boulevard Ministries and Beds for Kids charities.
