Crafting Community and Celebrating Local Talent in Statesville


Bringing vibrancy to downtown - Tori, owner of The Mercantile on Broad, saw an opportunity for an event and spearheaded the 2nd Saturday Downtown Statesville events. Downtown businesses and vendors come together for a community event bringing in locals and out-of-town visitors to explore Statesville and shop/dine at our downtown Statesville businesses. These monthly gatherings not only boost economic activity but also cultivate a vibrant community spirit.

Tori also walks through her journey to become the owner of The Mercantile on Broad, a store showcasing 40 local makers and artisans, offering a diverse selection from home decor to pet accessories. Michele from Made to Encourage (one of the makers whose work is sold there) joins to share insights into how this collaborative venture has become a sanctuary for local talent, fostering a supportive space brimming with creativity. Listen in as Michele discusses the joy of creating reclaimed and custom-made pieces, and the fruitful partnership with The Mercantile On Broad.
