Mount Airy's premier shopping,
dining, and entertainment destination.
The Main Oak Emporium occupies
the northernmost half of a city block bordered by Main
and Oak, and City Hall Streets in Historic Downtown
Mount Airy, NC. The Emporium has become the area's favorite
shopping, dining and entertainment center featuring
a great collection of unique gifts, gourmet foods, outdoor
clothing and shoes. The"Good Life Outfitter" and Trio Restaurant & Bar, are all a part of the experience at Main
Oak Emporium. "Enjoy the Good Life"!
Not only
are visitors impressed with the extraordinary shopping
and great food, they will also find the Emporium's interior
intriguing. Yadkin Valley Living Magazine described
the Emporium as a "terrific reuse of an old heritage
building." The building's vintage architectural elements
and original charm have been preserved while being transformed
into one of North Carolina's most exciting destinations.
According to documentation on
historical structures, the landmark Main Street building
was constructed circa 1905 and was used for decades
as the storefront of the John H. Midkiff Hardware Company.
The company's two brick warehouses were added in separate
renovation phases and completed in the 1930s. All three
buildings now comprise the not-to-be-missed Downtown
landmark, Main Oak Emporium.
