Union Square, Downtown Hickory, NC
We are fortunate to have such a beautiful downtown
in the days when most cities would beg for an active, vital and exciting city center!  In a park-like atmosphere with lots of free parking and with many locally-owned stores,
Downtown Hickory offers you a comfortable, casual and courteous style of shopping.
