Behind the brick and mortar of the downtown businesses on Salem Street, there's a heartbeat. The evolution of downtown apex is more than buildings, it’s people and connection; that’s community. Over the past 152 years Apex has grown to a population estimated in 2025 at 82,446, growing annually by 665 residents. We’re located in the Promenade building. Originally there was a building between us that housed the Apex Mule and Supply. This building was a grocery and hardware store until it closed in 1984. Over the years we’ve had individuals stop by to share bits of history. Like what? Bob Barker Company shared their company was located in our building and a local senior shared he’d be born in the front corner of our showroom. Our building is a multi-sensory reminder history surrounds us, from the textured brick, creaky wooden floorboards, wood slate ceilings, and train whistles. Each of those experiences leaves an impression. Formerly known as Log Pond, Apex was founded on a railway peak 152 years ago. Suburban Living Magazine featured an Explore Apex feature around the evolution of downtown in this article. Read more in this link to the article and see old photos of our building. WRAL has an archive article about the great fire of 1911. Current on-going investments by the Town of Apex to energize and transform the Salem Streetscape will keep Downtown Apex as a top destination to gather, shop, dine or find service providers; ensuring our area remains vibrant. Vibrant communities thrive, together. It's a symbiotic relationship. Planning together, we put our partners on the right track for peak performance!

Traveling on a ferry makes one very conscious that space matters. We took a trip to Ocracoke recently with one of our kids and his dog. Besides us, we needed to bring along gear- like fishing poles, cooler bags, luggage and some starter groceries. Normally we meet up a beach locations and everyone has their own car. If you've never been to this island, yes island- you will need a boat or a plane. Not being part of the rich and famous crowd, like the commoners we are, we took the ferry. Nothing screams minimalism more than packing a week's necessitates, plus a dog crate into an SUV. Space, well it matters. What if we had a magic wand to create more space? Poof, like a genie, we can make this happen. You won't need to waste on one of your three wishes, since Coleman snap and go coolers already exist.
