what is the Seaboard ACE and Briggs Hardware? What about Burke Bros, a mere 1 miles down Hillsborough?
By home improvement store I meant big box...Lowes or Home Depot. Burke Bros is a great hardware store. I go there sometimes when I'm over that way. Never been to Seaboard Ace. Don't care for Briggs...no need to get into that Capital City like Mike mentioned is great for specialty stuff, not to forget Stock Building(old Carolina Builders) I love the big boys like Lowes and Home Depot. I like a place where I can crawl in amongst the 2x4's and try to find a straight one, where I can play hide and seek with my wife, where I can roam around for an hour looking for something they don't even have, where we can get all sorts of plants and garden supplies, where I can shoot the breeze with people I run into, where I can sit outside and watch people attempt to put big things in small cars, or a place to simply get lost among all the stuff for while. Sometimes those places are a little hard to get to depending on traffic or time of day. A Lowes or Home Depot would be nice around North Hills or just inside the Beltline. Hell, we have everything else
I have a friend who finds successful small businesses all over the country and then starts them in other cities (launching small franchises, I guess). He's looking to do something in the Triangle and asked me what I thought we needed (or needed more of). I'm pretty stumped, I admit. What do you all think?
White Castle
A REAL Italian bakery with pastries (not just the typical cake & cup cake shops down here)
Traditional Chinese Medicine school (though with the big pharma & western medicine colleges don't see it easily happening)
I am sure some want that....but look how many places like that have been started, and soon went under. It doesn't seem a viable business for the area.
Could be wrong location or wrong timing but I can attest to many newcomers that have asked about that often just to be disappointed with a big no. Many many more northeast transplants continue to arrive here.
Well when the medical marijuana laws change which will not be long we'll need some good weed shops. It's the wave if the future and NC is not going to be immune from it either. Can't wait. It will be like pre-1937 in the U.S. again when marijuana was legal. YAY!!!

Bring it on. At age 63, the way I feel after a long day I could use a little legal hooch after supper time. Y'all do know that I attended the Love Valley Rock Festival in the July of '70 don't you

Yes, they all talk about it....but why have none of them made it (in many different locations) if they are just that important?

Where in the post do you see the word "important"?
But to answer your question perhaps business is not their thing or came here due to a job relocation. Either way I don't have the answer you're expecting.

Yup many of us could use the recreational and / or medicinal benefits. Not to mention how food industry would boom as well as tax revenue. Colorado generated $3 million in taxes just January alone. Btw they had a pot job fair recently there that appears to have done well. It's the new tobacco-like agricultural future of this nation.
Ugh! I just looked at the prices on their menus. Just wow.. It wasn't that much when I was a kid! Lol.
Make that two of us. Nothing like a great hot pastrami sandwich on rye. LOL
