We love supporting neighborhood businesses so we can get to know the awesome people behind them! This week, we’re sharing seven more local treasures from around our Nest Realty locations:
FASHION MEETS FUNCTION
We’ve all been there. Your go-to workout t-shirt has seen better days and you need an upgrade. Well Kept of Davidson, NC, has you covered. They stock stylish and high-performance workout gear, with an underlying focus on quality that can stand up to the most intense training regime. Whether you barre or burpee, with Well Kept you can sweat it out in style.
LUXURIOUS LEATHER
Creativity and determination had Daniel Foytik crafting toys from leather at an early age. He brought his craft more than 5,000 miles from his birthplace, a little town in Siberia, so he could create refined leather goods in his namesake store, Foytik, in Charlottesville, VA. Nest staff favorites include the personalized pet collars and passport covers.
KĀMAU KĪ AHA
Every glass at Waterman’s Brewing Company boasts Poseidon’s trident, a subtle tribute to the original waterman. With brews named “abundant sunshine” and “sun sparkle with tangerine,” it’s easy to see that this Wilmington, NC, brewery is strongly tethered to the seaside community. Owners encourage gatherings at their family friendly brewpub, and have even dubbed their event space the ‘Ohana Room.
MODERN CONVENIENCE
Inspired by the classic bodega or corner grocery, the Bulldega Urban Market is a welcoming resource for downtown Durham, NC. You can pop in for laundry detergent and leave with your bag also filled with locally sourced produce and humanely raised meat. The best part? Bulldega strives to be approachable and affordable, meaning shoppers with a variety of budgets can confidently shop alongside one another.
STEP UP TO THE BARRE
Micro movements equal major results with Pure Barre. This ballet-inspired fitness craze depends on small, isometric movements. Instructors set classes to music and encourage minor corrections so your workout is low impact, yet effective. Dedicated class-goers in Jackson, TN, are rewarded by being able to sign achievement bars at their 100th, 250th, and 500th classes!
MANLY MANI
Who says manicures are just for women? At Innovations Salon and Day Spa in Blacksburg, VA, manicures and pedicures are offered for men and children, also. Get the whole family looking snappy for upcoming holiday events. There’s the kid’s princess manicure and pedicure for your littles, and a sport manicure and sport basic pedicure for men.
BIRD’S EYE VIEW
Looking for a new perspective? If so, why not travel 20 stories in the air? Skyview Ferris Wheel is within the Centennial Park District of Atlanta, GA, and boasts panoramic views of downtown and the surrounding areas. If you want to splurge, you can upgrade to the VIP package to enjoy a climate-controlled gondola will have Ferrari-style seats and a glass floor.
