Convenient location for us when we're headed West! We generally stop in for gas and snacks for our…read morelong trips. This store has a pretty good selection of drinks and snack foods. My SO loves that they offer different flavors of slushies. He loves them, especially, the grape flavor! They carry a good selection of beer, too! This store has a Little Caesar Pizza shop with a Drive Thru connected to it and it's located across the street from the Post Office. The Yellow Deli is just a hop and a skip down from the store, along with Family Dollar and Dollar General. When in the area you can grab lunch or dinner, handle your mailing needs, grab a few odds and ends then fill up your vehicle here before heading home. Staff are pretty friendly and the store can be pretty busy at certain times. There are several fuel pumps and there's even a separate set of diesel pumps off to the side.

LOVE Fresh Market Produce!!! I stop in frequently just to pick up 1 or 2 things and other times I…read morewill have a cart full of produce, cookie mixes, meat, unique canned options of jelly or jam, veggies, honey, a homemade dishcloth, and some fresh bread. I really like going to the Hickory Farmers Market but sometimes I can't go during their open hours on Saturday or Wednesday, that's why I am so thankful for the Fresh Market Produce. They are always open when I need something.

Saw this place on the way to Lenoir and glad I stopped in! This was an old dairy farm and the barn…read morehas been converted to general store and creamery. One can buy ice cream and sundae's with ice cream made close by with all the toppings imaginable. They also serve coffee and drinks in the morning as well. The staff are awesome and very knowledgeable about offerings and history of place. The other half of the barn is used as a store to showcase and sell local products and makings from vendors. The upstairs in the barn is used for games and seating area for relaxing. Outside the barn on the west side is several yard games for kids and adults alike for entertainment. They sell several plants and flowers seasonally as well out back of the barn. Out back and beside the barn is animal pins along with feeders one can purchase pellets for ducks, chickens and goats to eat. All the animals on the farm are rescues from unwanted homes. This is a great place for kids or to hang out and relax within the company of animals. Also a great place for date night young and old. This is a fun stop on a day trip or nice evening under the stars with ice cream.

I have been a customer at the Deal Store for many years. I have always found everyone there to be…read morevery friendly and helpful. They have good prices and excellent customer service. I have also been in the other stores offering basically the same products for sale, but for me I prefer Deal's.

I've been here a few times. Each time the staff have just glared at me and have been condescending…read moreas well. I thought it was just me but today the person with me commented about how snarky they were and about how all 3 of them stood at the register and glared at us. I live close by and am saddened by this attitude. I won't be back and will be spending my hard earned money across the street at Sugar Loaf. Staff/owners at SL are helpful and go out of their way to be nice. It's not that hard to love others instead of being haters. I generally walk around with a smile on my face and a ready kind word for another. Deal Apple Orchards Store has a bad vibe all the way around.

Cash's has been open just over four months and by the looks of things already has a regular following. Prices are fair just four dollars for a small basket of peaches (9 of them). Looking at the peaches on the counter later in the evening had to wash and try one. Wow, first bite in was glad I was standing over the kitchen sink so much flavor and so juicy. Melons were two for five. People were snapping them up as quick as they could put them out. Staff is friendly and even knows the state the prduce comes from. Next time I'm in Hickory will definitely be stopping in. I may even go out of my way for those tomatos? If your in the area Cash's is worth a look.

We had about 18 of us that were traveling together with the senior adult group from church. I was…read morethe bus driver. They decided they wanted to stop into the Apple Hill Orchard to pick apples. They charge you $3 each if you just want to walk in the orchards and not pick anything. If you want to pick apples they charge you the $3 each to walk around + what you pick. They have a general store you can walk around in and purchase bakery items in. We purchased a bag of Pink Lady Apples that we picked in the orchard, a bag of apples fritters. We had an apple and it was very good! The only negative was when we called and said we were coming they said no problem. When we arrived and they saw we had a bus we got the impression they were too happy because of the limited parking. I parked in the grass area on the side away from the building. No issues. If you do bring a large vehicle here just be prepared there might be limited parking. As a last resort you could park it at the church at the bottom of the hill and walk up.
