“Lowes Foods is my new favorite grocery store. I ordered online for a pickup order at the Banner Elk store to pick up on our way to a vacation rental. The process was so convenient and easy to use. The staff was so friendly and personally called me to help me choose replacements. They were prompt and efficient and it was truly such a pleasant experience!”
“Ran in this store 3x while on vacation in NC. I was so impressed with the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. The shelves were well stocked and the prices were good too. The location is easy to access.”
“I stopped here this morning hoping to get a few crackers or something to snack on. It was closed…as I should have expected on a Sunday morning, but as I walked back to my car a man came out of the house next door and asked if he could help me. I couldn’t believe it when he offered to open up and let me buy some items since he was clearly headed to the church across the road. His name was Gray (?) son of the owners. I felt like I was blessed being able to chat a few minutes with him, gather up some snacks and real bottled Coca-cola and pet the friendliest cat, Big Momma, I left with the biggest smile on my face and feeling as if I had just experienced a rare moment in life in a place I will never forget and it all was so unexpected. The kindness I was shown and true friendly connection I made has kept me smiling all day! I can’t wait to travel through again and stop at Thomas Grocery. It is special!!”
“I came in with pain levels so bad they were limiting my daily movement, and nothing else had worked. After regular sessions with Tina and Amber, I’ve experienced true healing, pain levels greatly diminished, gained mobility, and my energy and mood lifted. Their knowledge of the body, how muscles respond, and the perfect use of pressure is unmatched. They don’t just give a massage, they bring lasting relief and recovery.
What makes this place even more special is the holistic approach. Their insight into natural medicine and herbal remedies is incredible, and having the natural food market on-site makes it a full wellness experience.
Over time, Tina and Amber haven’t just been amazing healers, they’ve become friends, people who genuinely care and want to see you thrive. They have a rare gift, and I’m so grateful I found them. If you’re looking for real results and compassionate care, A Hand 2 Heal in Roan Mountain, TN is the place.”

Thank you for your support and kindness. “i am JOSIAH” on the Message Board.
We are praying for your safety and for everyone who was impacted by Hurricane Helene.”

“Stone Mountain General store is such a little jewel in this quaint little Bethel community. My kids grew up stopping in the store for all sorts of treats after a day at the park to include ice cream, chips and old fashioned coke in a glass bottle. Tommy and Lula are always fun to chat with and do a great job of hosting all the little old men in the community in their little lunch nook which is surrounded by old newspaper clippings featuring many who sit just below. The store is stocked with all the essentials to save you from a trip to Boone or Mountain City.”

“Neat gas station at the point where you turn into Sugar Mountain with a convenience store, gas and air. They have plenty of stations are are courteous to everyone. Takes $2 for air. They offer occasional deals on candy bars.”
“I was craving a burger and didn't know what to expect but dang I was surprised! This fresh pressed and made to order burger was just what I needed! It doesn't come with any sides but with how big it was I didn't even finish the two sides I ordered. Which were also very reasonably priced and good. I will be going back! I took pics but it won't let me post them. This burger was huge!”

“A great establishment and in my opinion it is a must-stop while at Beech Mountain. I relied on Fred’s for their fresh cooked food, snowboarding gear, groceries, and gifts! They also lent me a tool to help me out when I had a lock that broke. Great staff, delicious food with lots of options, and a lot to look at and do! The Philly cheesesteak was amazing and a great price. Always left the store feeling very satisfied and well taken care of.”
“Great service paying with the cashier very polite everything in the store is easy to find and pretty cheap and great place to go food shopping and looking for Christmas decorations and things to help you around the house definitely recommend :)”
