Gilmore’s Mercantile

Meet the owners: Rachel Gilmore

Newly retired from the corporate world, but not new to running her own business, completed her degree in Business Admin and Accounting and was a Finance professional for over twenty-five years, decided it was time to give back to the community, she has moved into and made her home for the last eight years. Allowing local vendors a place to show their talents and give this community a place to gather are the goals. The coffee is just a bonus!     

Meet the Owners: Richard Gilmore

Continually working in the corporate world for over 35 years, Richard has spent time learning all the ins and outs of running and managing business. With a degree in Business Management he brings so much to the table....literally, he's providing  us with  fresh, in-house roasted coffees from different origins, and recently making new and innovative blends, with very memorable names. 

Also, with his expertise,  guidance, and hard work, the building was renovated to reflect it's historic beauty from 1920, to  honor the past of Gastonia and to offer a great opportunity to  focus on the growth of our community, in the future.
