“After searching continuously for over a year, we found this<br />

little corner in the Cargo District to be the perfect space for our<br />

relocation. Other options in our region were limited to shopping<br />

plazas, large land purchases or locations that simply didn't feel<br />

right to us,” says Steve Gibbs. “This old service station seemed<br />

to have just the right amount of interior space and a spacious<br />

outdoor area that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in our<br />

quickly growing town. The option to be beside several fellow small<br />

businesses that all seem to share a creative energy was a final<br />

decision-making point in our search.”<br />

A Day in the District<br />

If you’re new to the <strong>Wilmington</strong> area or haven’t had a chance to<br />

venture to the Cargo District yet, it’s easy to spend a whole day here.<br />

Start off with coffee from Blue Cup Roastery then head to Crafted<br />

Outpost, which features a curated selection of jewelry, apothecary,<br />

wellness goods and home décor from over 20 <strong>Wilmington</strong> makers.<br />
