Weldon is seeing a growth of businesses that offer an opportunity to shop and Find Great Treasures in vintage, antiquey, old & used, crafty, unique stuff with whiskey tastings, rockfish slaying, and good eats. To prove that point here’s a list of businesses that we already have in Weldon.

• Riverside Mill: Antique Mall-Arts Gallery- Outlets
• Downtown Weldon Flea Market
• That Pops, Vintage Inspired Thrift Boutique 
• Trends: Urban Clothing
• Stepin’ High Clothing
• Nature’s Mana Health Foods
• Ivey’s Treasure Chest
• This N That Thrift Shop (Davis)
• Holloman’s Auctions, 207 E 2nd St
• Weldon Mills Distillery, Small Batch Bourbon Maker
• 51 Sycamore Restaurant & Rockfish Bar
• Madeline’s Kitchen.

These businesses are beginning to work together to promote themselves under the mantra “Find Great Treasures In Downtown Weldon”

In the coming weeks, each business will be displaying a large OPEN sign with the heading of Find Great Treasures Here. A brochure will be produced and the info will be on the website www.WeldonNC.com. Explore Weldon Facebook and Instagram accounts will be used to push out posts promoting this effort.

In addition to working with what we already have, a list is being compiled of potential storefronts that will allow more businesses to locate and open in Weldon. The more we have, the more we can promote ourselves as a Destination. “How to Open a Business in Downtown Weldon” checklist is being developed too.

Plans are in the works to host monthly Treasure Hunt events that will encourage shoppers to visit each store to get their treasure map marked so that it will be entered into a drawing for prizes.

We hope you find this information interesting and will support the Treasured Businesses of Downtown Weldon by Shopping and sending others to shop with us.
