Merrill Mischief's move to West Union Street in a few months comes with more space and a new concept for owners Craig and Sarah Merrell.

Dan Williams recently started a new position as the general manager at Morganton General Store, after coming across an ad on Indeed. The community has warmly welcomed him, and he plans to make changes such as expanding the seating for Swedes Cafe customers who cannot use stairs. Considering claiming Morganton as his new home, Williams is enjoying his new role and the welcoming atmosphere of the town.
