185 Duke Street, Granite Falls, NC 28630

Property Description

For nearly 50 years, Joe and Thelma Church operated a neighborhood grocery store on Duke Street just outside Rhodhiss. Over the years, the property has served many purposes—at one time housing a beauty salon, barber shop, and apartments on the lower level, and later becoming home to a NicNak store and ice cream shop. The site’s history dates back even further, when a wood-sided building known as the Icard Store, owned by Thelma’s family, stood there in the early 1900s where Duke Street is currently located. The current brick-and-block building was constructed when the road was developed and now offers an opportunity for its next chapter. Affordably priced, it’s ready for a new owner or family to continue making history. The property features approximately 2,500 square feet on the main level, two bay doors, and a full basement with three separate entrances. Located within the town limits of Granite Falls, the building has most recently been used as warehouse space. Buyers should consult the local planning department regarding permitted uses and verify requirements for activating utilities. According to the Town of Granite Falls, water and electricity are available, and per the Town of Rhodhiss, sewer is available. The property is being sold “AS IS.” Personal contents are not included.
