We've received many questions/requests about whether we're accepting new or returning vendors for this fall season. Honestly, as much as we want to see you all and meet new vendors, we don't have any vendor spots open right now. However, we will consider a few more local authors. We highly recommend visiting Chooch to add your items to their wonderful store, which features over 100 vendors. They're fun and great to work with!

Hi, everyone! I wanted to share here first that, after careful consideration, I’ve decided to offer my business for sale.

I’ve truly enjoyed watching the business grow and have poured so much time, heart, and effort into creating something unique for our community. Recently, however, some exciting new opportunities have come along that we believe are worth exploring. To make room for those opportunities, I’ve made the decision to simplify a few things and regain more time at home with my family, which has always been most important to me.

This is NOT a liquidation or closing sale. Copperhill General Store remains open, fully operational, and profitable, and will continue business as usual.

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone to acquire an established, turnkey business without having to build something from the ground up.

Copperhill General Store has grown into a unique multi-concept business with a loyal customer base, strong community support, and multiple revenue streams, including:

* Retail merchandise
* Prospectors Sweet Strike — ice cream, baked goods, specialty drinks, and more
* Copperhill Book & Plant Lounge — books, plants, and related items
* Indoor gem mining
* Additional offerings

The sale includes the business names and branding, fixtures, shelving, equipment, inventory, and other operational assets.

The building itself is not included, as the location is leased. We have excellent landlords who are willing to work with the right new owner regarding a new lease. Certain personal items and vendor-owned merchandise are also excluded from the sale.

Transition support will be provided to help ensure a smooth handover. Our current staff is also willing to remain, making this a highly turnkey opportunity. Systems are already in place, and the business can be operated with a hands-on approach or managed more remotely, depending on the new owner’s preference.

One of the things I’m most proud of is that the store has become a true destination, with customers regularly traveling specifically to visit us.

With an established foundation, loyal customer base, multiple revenue streams, and additional room for growth, this is a rare opportunity for the right person to step into a thriving business and make it their own.

Serious inquiries only.

Please feel free to share this with anyone you believe may be a great fit.

We still have plenty of bottled water; please come pick some up today!

The Twin Cities are still under water conservation, and we plan to do our part to help reduce water usage.

With that in mind, we have decided to only open the General Store and Book & Plant Lounge. Sweet Strike will stay closed until the water has been tested, cleared, and the boil water advisory has been lifted. Our business hours may vary over the next few days until everything returns to normal, so please call us before making a trip into town.

Not only do we want to help conserve water, but we also want to take every precaution to ensure our customers' safety.

We are very grateful to be able to reopen today. Unfortunately, that isn't the case for some of our fellow local businesses. Please keep them, along with all the crews working tirelessly to restore our community, in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support of our small businesses. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Sweet Strike as soon as it’s safe to do so!

Our community has always been defined by more than the places we love—it's defined by the people who call it home.
This weekend's flooding impacted many of our McCaysville and Copper Basin businesses, but what we've seen in the aftermath has been nothing short of inspiring. Neighbors, volunteers, business owners, and first responders have come together, lending helping hands and proving once again that this community is stronger than any storm.
As cleanup continues, many businesses are working hard to reopen their doors. When it's safe to do so, we encourage you to shop local, dine local, and show these small businesses the love they've always shown our community. Every visit, purchase, meal, and kind word makes a difference.
Please continue to be patient, extend grace, and check directly with businesses for their reopening updates.
Together, we'll rebuild, recover, and welcome visitors back with the same warmth and resilience that make McCaysville and Copper Basin so special.
❤️ Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to help. The road ahead may take time, but we'll get there—together.

Due to the water issues the city is facing, we've decided not to open Sweet Strike today to help conserve water. We are also not opening Copperhill General Store and Book & Plant Lounge at this time as we are working on getting water bottles delivered for our community. We will update everyone once we have more information. Please keep our little twin cities in your thoughts and prayers as everyone works to support each other.
