Happy Feature Friday!

Today we're showing off Kimo's ONO Grindz: Chili Pepper Water Hawaiian Hot Sauces 🌶️

Kimo has 3 flavors available.
In order of heat level: Jalapeño, Original, and Habanero.

Come on in and find out what the hype is all about!

What's your favorite thing about shopping local? There's so much to love!

Here's our top 3 reasons to Shop Local & Shop Small:

1. Supporting the local economy: Shopping at local businesses keeps money within the community and supports the growth of small businesses. You are literally supporting your neighbors!

2. Unique products and services: Local businesses often offer unique products and services that you can't find at larger chain stores. Never again worry about getting someone a duplicate gift!

3. Environmental impact: Shopping locally can reduce the carbon footprint of transporting goods long distances, leading to a more sustainable community. And more times than not, small businesses use more sustainable packaging than larger stores!

Thank you EVERYONE who showed up for our 1 year anniversary AND online store launch! We couldn't do this without the community's support.

It's hard to believe it's already been a year! So much has changed since the first 6 vendors went in on this project, running the store Co-op style and volunteering their time to keep the door open. Today we are fully staffed and up to 14 vendors!

AND we now offer online shopping!!
New items are being added almost daily, for shipping and in-store pick up. You can continue shopping small, wherever you are.

So what are you waiting for? Pop on over to the store or site! Cabarrus Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
