Did you know we still hold our IBX Book Club? Monthly was a bit too taxing for some of our members, so we have moved to quarterly meetings where we discuss one common book and share about other books we have read in the span of time between meetings! It’s always such a nice reset and a great time to converse and take a break from what’s going on in the world even if just for an hour. If book club is something you’re interested in, we’d love to have you join us at our next meeting!

It is with an unbelievably full and happy heart that I announce the sale of Inner Banks Mercantile. This was the most beautiful journey I embarked on way back in 2021 when I was hopeful Columbia would embrace and support this wild idea I had. Little did I know how fulfilling it would be to bring this building back to life and meet all the wonderful people in this community.
Swipe until the end to see your new owner … she’s like a daughter to me and I couldn’t be more proud of her. She has mastered and conquered the craziness of running a retail business.
Please join John McCann and myself in congratulating Cammy 💫. Don’t worry I’ll still be around - I have a feeling she’s going to put me to work. 😉
