Carolina Hemp Hut in Hillsborough has been recognized as the Best New Business in Chapel Hill by the readers of Chapel Hill Magazine. This award highlights the dedication and hard work of the Carolina Hemp Hut team, who are thrilled to be acknowledged by the local community and their peers in the retail industry.

Mary Lopez Carter, the founder of Carolina Hemp Hut, recently shared her excitement. She said, “The hemp industry can be tough because of the stigma around cannabis. People still come into our Hillsborough store and are surprised to find out we sell cannabis products, especially Industrial Hemp.” In North Carolina, Industrial Hemp means cannabis products with less than 0.3% THC THC is the compound that causes a “high” in marijuana. Carolina Hemp Hut ensures all its products stay within this limit, so they are safe and legal for customers.

Why Carolina Hemp Hut Stands Out

Carolina Hemp Hut started 2018 as a small kiosk at The Streets at Southpoint Mall in Durham. From the start, Mary and her team focused on providing high-quality hemp products. They listened to their customers and expanded their offerings, which quickly made the kiosk too small. Now, Carolina Hemp Hut has two full-sized stores in the Triangle area: one in Hillsborough and another on Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard in Durham.

A big part of Carolina Hemp Hut’s success is its wide range of products. They offer over 1,000 different items. Customers can find CBD tinctures, edibles, and topicals, as well as specialized products like Delta-8 THC gummies and full-spectrum hemp oils. This variety helps customers find what they need, whether for relief from a specific condition or just exploring hemp’s benefits.

But it’s not just the variety of products that sets Carolina Hemp Hut apart; it’s the expertise and dedication of the team behind the counter. The staff at Carolina Hemp Hut is well-trained in the health benefits of hemp and takes the time to educate each customer about the products they’re interested in. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, or just looking for a natural way to relax, the team is there to guide you. “A small amount of THC can be very beneficial for those who can use it. It’s the only cannabinoid known to bind with the endocannabinoid receptors in the human body,” Mary explained. However, Carolina Hemp Hut also offers THC-free options for customers who need to avoid it due to drug testing or personal preference.

A Mission Rooted in Personal Experience

The story of Carolina Hemp Hut is deeply personal for Mary Lopez Carter. The idea for the business came to her when she was searching for natural remedies to help her husband, who was battling malignant tumors. “I knew there had to be a way for nature to help heal. I’m so glad I found legal cannabis as a solid option for many people to improve their lives by helping with the discomfort they face,” she shared.

What began as a way to help her family has turned into a full-time job for Mary. She now helps people all over the country find relief with hemp products. Mary’s journey drives her passion for the industry. She is dedicated to offering the best care to her customers.

Her story connects with many who visit Carolina Hemp Hut. The store is more than just a place to buy products. It’s a place where people find understanding, support, and hope.

Building Trust in the Community

Carolina Hemp Hut’s success comes from the trust they’ve built in the local community. This trust didn’t happen quickly; it was earned by consistently engaging with people, offering top-quality products, and providing great customer service.

The store regularly hosts educational events. These events help customers learn about hemp and its benefits. Topics range from the basics of CBD and THC to how the endocannabinoid system works. By educating customers, Carolina Hemp Hut helps them make informed choices about their health.

Carolina Hemp Hut also works with local healthcare providers. This partnership ensures customers get accurate information and the best care. It’s important to clear up myths and misconceptions about hemp and cannabis. Many customers have questions or concerns about hemp products, and the team is always ready to give clear, evidence-based answers.

Customer testimonials reflect the trust that Carolina Hemp Hut has built. Many customers appreciate the knowledgeable staff and the personalized recommendations they receive. “I was new to CBD and didn’t know where to start, but the staff at Carolina Hemp Hut took the time to explain everything to me. They helped me find the right product for my needs, and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since,” said one satisfied customer.

Recognized for Excellence

The recognition from Chapel Hill Magazine as the Best New Business of 2020 is just one of many accolades Carolina Hemp Hut has received. The store has earned a reputation for excellence in product quality and customer service. This reputation has not only attracted local customers but also those from surrounding areas who are looking for a trusted source of hemp products.
