Anthony Gaglia kicked off Carolina Crafted in 2016, wholesaling candles from his garage. With big dreams and lots of passion, he opened a storefront in the Harris Arcade Building in downtown Hickory in 2018. Thanks to the amazing support from our community, we quickly outgrew that spot and moved to a larger downtown location where Anthony began crafting candles and products in-house. Just two years later, we were blessed to move to Union Square in downtown Hickory.

We're excited to share that Carolina Crafted is becoming a general store! In addition to our handmade candles and bath products, we now offer a variety of unique gifts and specialty foods. We’re also thrilled to offer ice cream and other sweet treats to satisfy your cravings!

We truly enjoy getting to know our customers and cherish the relationships we build with you. Having our small business be a part of this community means the world to us.

Thank you for being part of our journey!
