Help Western NC Stores by Shopping Online (Henderson Co Edition)

We always try to shop small businesses when we travel, because for every $1 you spend at a small business, around 67¢ stays in the local economy! 

And with Helene wreaking havoc and devastation right as Western North Carolina stores were ramping up for peak Fall travel season, many of these businesses are desperate for revenue to make up for their immense losses. 

With Christmas coming up, you can support NC by buying gifts from North Carolina. So we’re assembling county-by-county guides to all the Western North Carolina shopping options available online. 

Next up is Henderson County NC, whose exceptional array of restaurants, shops, wineries, apple orchards, and historic sites keep bringing us back year after year. 

Read on for our guide to 25 Shops in Flat Rock, Fletcher, and Hendersonville that offer online shopping, including everything from fashion boutiques and art galleries to bath & beauty, jewelry, and more!
