WOWā€¦ what a weekend ā¤ļø

We are still soaking in all the love and support from our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Grand Opening celebration.

None of it would have been possible without the amazing people and businesses who showed up for us in such a big way.

A huge thank you to Cheryl, the Chamber, our friends, family, and everyone who came out Friday evening for our ribbon cutting celebration.

Thank you to Allen Dye for the incredible Beacon Village picnic spread Friday night, it was absolutely delicious!šŸ˜‹

And for Saturdayā€™s Grand Opening festivities, thank you to:

ā€¢ Do It Best
ā€¢ Broil King
ā€¢ Husqvarna
ā€¢ Greenworks
ā€¢ Mike Ayers, chainsaw artist
ā€¢ Uncle Scottā€™s Root Beer

Special thanks to Daniel & Emily at Short Sleeves for letting us share in the fun of the day together, David at Kilwins in Black Mountain for the delicious ice cream for our root beer floats, Miss Rachel for serving floats with a smile, and David Cody for providing the wonderful music all day long.

Most importantly, thank you to every friend, family member, customer, and community supporter who came out and celebrated with us. Seeing the store filled with smiling faces, laughter, and community meant more than we can say.

We are so grateful to be part of this community ā¤ļø

Cindy may have just found the next big thing for the kidsā€¦ PUTTY šŸ˜„

Weā€™re now carrying a whole line of putty from Crazy Aaronā€™s and itā€™s already getting lots of attention around the store.

Stretch it, squish it, pop it!

Perfect for keeping little hands busy (and honestlyā€¦ adults too).

Weā€™re still waiting on our NeeDoh shipment to arrive, but in the meantime these putties are fully stocked and ready to be tested out šŸ‘€

A little piece of Swannanoa history lives on at our front counter.

This pickle jar was gifted to us by the Parkā€™s family and was used in this very same building when it was a grocery store in the 1940s, serving pickles to the community.

Now, years later, the tradition continues in a new way: with pickle juice shots and SuckerPunch pickle packs in the very same spot!

Some things never changešŸ«¶šŸ¼
