One of the easiest and best ways to continue to support Western NC is to visit, stay, and shop at local businesses.

Many businesses were significantly affected by Hurricane Helene in late September of 2024. Many businesses were unable to open or unable to attract customers during the peak fall season. Some are still not able to open.

BUT a fantastic way to support Western NC is to shop online at local Western North Carolina businesses.

With some help from the wonderful members in our Facebook Group this guide will share many Western North Carolina businesses that are taking online orders, including gift cards.

Our list is organized by North Carolina towns and in alphabetical order. The listings have the name of the business, a brief summary of items they sell, and a link to their website.
