If you’ve lived in Brunswick County long enough… you know a good fence isn’t just about property lines.

It’s about dogs that think every yard is theirs.
Kids spending all day in the pool.
A little more privacy.
And finally making your house feel like home.

That’s exactly what Tim at T&D Custom Fences & Decks has been helping families do for years.

Good people. Great work. And the kind of local business that builds its reputation one backyard at a time.

If you’ve worked with Tim before, tell people what stood out about the experience 👇

Today’s local spotlight feels a little more like Brunswick County comfort food meets craftsmanship.

If you’ve spent any time in Southport, there’s a good chance you’ve either walked into Burney's Bakery or smelled it before you even opened the door. Mitch and the team have built one of those places people end up talking about constantly. The glazed croissants, pastries, cakes, coffee… it’s the kind of bakery that turns into a weekend tradition fast for both longtime residents and new families getting settled here.

Then there’s J@James Brian. Brian has built a reputation around quality work, renovations, remodeling, and custom home projects across our area. What stands out is the attention to detail and pride in the work itself. In a fast-growing area like Brunswick County, businesses like this help people turn a house into something that actually feels like home.

These are the kinds of local businesses that make this area feel personal instead of corporate.

Question:
What’s one local business you’ve discovered here that instantly made Brunswick County feel more like home?

Memorial Day is a lot more than a long weekend.

Today we remember the men and women who gave their lives serving this country and the families who still carry that loss every day. 🇺🇸

Living here along the coast, it’s easy to appreciate the simple things today… being with family, being out on the water, cookouts, beach days, all of it.

None of that comes without sacrifice.

Taking a moment today to remember those who never made it home.

❤️🤍💙

Not all local businesses get talked about enough… but some quietly make a huge difference in people’s lives every single day.

Jeff and the team at Alps Mtn Affordable Hearing Hickory have been helping people hear better across North Carolina for decades, with locations serving both Southport and Sunset Beach. From hearing evaluations to hearing aid fittings and ongoing care, their focus is simple: helping people stay connected to the conversations and moments that matter most.

One thing we really respect? They still believe in personal service and taking care of people the right way.

If you or a family member has been struggling with hearing issues, this is one of those businesses worth knowing about.
