Downtown Wilmington Is Going To The Young Dogs!


If you happen to stroll through downtown Wilmington lately, you will see a changing of the guard that is positive sign of progress. There are many new businesses owned by young people who have chosen to tough out the sagging economy by harnessing their ingenuity and become entrepreneurs.

Everywhere you turn you'll see innovative young people successfully making their own path. It started years ago with The Whiskey, Cape Fear Beer and Wine, and Edge of Urge, and there are now more and more young turks ready to pick up the slack as businesses like Kingoff's flee what is no longer their target market area. Did you know that there are now TWO skate shops on Front Street that are thriving?

This week marks the first week that we featured an upstart startup business (Coastal Cupcakes), and we now realize that it is time to start featuring other businesses that are near enough for you to visit, whether they are established or new to downtown Wilmington.
