โœจ Downtown Stories: Tastebuds Popcorn Hickory

Right in the heart of Downtown Hickory, Tastebuds Popcorn Hickory has become a sweet (and savory!) staple for locals and visitors alike.

For owner Eliza Hucks, choosing downtown was an easy decisionโ€” โ€œIt is the heart of Hickory!โ€

That heart shows up not just in their storefront, but in the way Tastebuds connects with the community. Over the past two years, theyโ€™ve created Holiday Gift Boxes featuring products from fellow downtown businessesโ€”bringing together local flavors and supporting their neighbors along the way.

Itโ€™s a perfect example of what makes downtown special: collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to lifting each other up.

And this June marks an exciting milestoneโ€”Tastebuds Popcorn is celebrating 3 years in Downtown Hickory! ๐ŸŽ‰

โ€œWe love being in downtown Hickory and truly appreciate all the support weโ€™ve received from this community.โ€

๐Ÿ“ 254 1st Ave NW Unit A, Hickory, NC 28601

โœจ Downtown Stories: Dragonfly Inn

Tucked into the heart of Downtown Hickory, Dragonfly Inn offers something truly specialโ€”an experience rooted in comfort, connection, and place.

For the owners, choosing downtown wasnโ€™t just about locationโ€”it was about lifestyle.

โ€œWe found a place we fell in love with right here downtown. We considered moving out to the country, but ultimately decided we wanted to be in the midst of the activity and life that Downtown Hickory offers.โ€

That decision has shaped not only the guest experience, but also the Innโ€™s connection to the community. Dragonfly Inn actively supports fellow downtown businessesโ€”recommending local restaurants, sharing event information, and even partnering with Bottega, who provides discount cards for their guests.

From the Farmers Market to the Sails Music Series, guests of Dragonfly Inn are encouraged to experience everything that makes downtown vibrant and welcoming.

And in a city full of unique places, Dragonfly Inn offers a true bed-and-breakfast experienceโ€”something both personal and memorable for every guest who walks through its doors.
