We will definitely be coming back.

If in need of a home custom built Tiki bar or a Tiki for yard art, Chris aka Big E is the man for the job. Every piece is unique and has so much personality, and the bar area he constructed is quality and enjoyable. I can't believe I paid so little for such high quality Tiki carvings and custom work on the little bar.

I spent many days on Pinterest going through different ideas and colors. As I was swiping through countless pictures I came across a blue door that was to die for! I immediately clicked the link and realized it was a Benjamin Moore color. I remember passing the store while grabbing brunch on day and had my boyfriend take me over to grab the paint. There was one employee in the store and he was great! On top of all the multitasking he was doing he also managed to answer our questions and help us find the paint and finish! We decided to also grab a primer, paintbrushes, and some paint for our kitchen cabinets while we were in there! It was really such a great experience! The paint on the cabinets was a perfect match and I'm OBSESSED with our new front door! I will be back for all our future paint needs.

The place is located off of Kerr Avenue in a little office/retail spot. It is kinda hard to miss and there is only a small sign. Their prices are very reasonable and if you are questioning if this product is good for you I highly recommend going there.

She had been in pain management through her doctors for decades but wanted to try something more natural. We tried a couple of shops in town and were initially impressed with kratom just as a product having never tried it before(I also take Kratom to help with back pain due to a slipped/bulging disk). My wife eventually found Kratom NC and we were immediately enticed by the much lower prices he offered alone. Imagine our delight when after trying his product for the first time and finding out it's also twice as better as anything else we'd had. This alone is enough to make me a regular customer but Mike, the store owner, is the icing on the cake. He has a great wealth of knowledge and respect for the industry he operates in. Everything he sells he has tested on himself and can give you first person perspective on all of his products. He also truly cares about his customers. He knows how important his product is to some people (like my wife) who need it to operate on a daily basis. He even stayed as open and available as possible during and after hurricane Florence when most other places were closed for days. In conclusion, if you have the slightest inclination to try Kratom, CBD, Kava, etc. go to Kratom NC, he'll treat you right. If you regularly have been going somewhere else, give him a try, I guarantee you will get a better deal on a better product. Thank you Mike and Kratom NC. -Ryan S.
