I stop in here every year with my sister when she visits and I'm always surprised. You would think it would be all the same information but they stay up to date with current businesses. Even though I live here I always find something new I'd like to go do! The staff is always very friendly and often you walk out with a souvenir! I highly recommend coming here just to see all the information booklets they have!

Perfect park for leisure family walks, paddle boats, runs with the dog, feeding the ducks, picnics, playground time with the kids, and so much more. It’s a beautiful park with so much space!

We fell in love with this little diner when we found it in the Depot at Gibson Mill on one of our antiquing treks around town. These guys have got the market hands down on YUMMY things! My fiance loves the Reuben sandwich and it makes my day to get the tuna on rye! OH MY GOSH my mouth is watering now just talking about it! They have loads of other good food, sandwiches, wraps, etc.... you can't go wrong! And the owners are the nicest people you will ever meet!! Check them out! I recommend them 100%!

Came here due to a Groupon. Very friendly staff. I prefer sweet wines and they had a large selection. Decent pours of six selections and they added a seventh seasonal wine. Wound up walking out with three bottles and three blocks of cheese.

Small breweries often give it their all. They know that have to excel in order to compete and many of them set lofty goals. Some of them achieve those goals while others meet and exceed them. A good example of the latter is High Branch Brewing. I paid a visit to High Branch Brewing in support of my beer blog, Great Beer Now. It was my final brewery visit/tour of the area but one I knew I had to find the time to visit, given its reputation in the craft community. It is located in historic Gibson Mill on the second level of a building that is occupied by other businesses also. You can enter from the front or the back, but I would bet that most visitors enter from the back and many people who visit are likely drawn here by the fact that it’s right next to another brewery, Cabarrus. High Branch Brewing has indoor seating and a small amount of outdoor seating on a patio. If you bring your dog, you are welcome to use the patio and while there is no kitchen you can sometimes find snacks and there is almost always a food truck within walking distance. High Branch Brewing is a very relaxed place where anyone would feel comfortable but the standout at High Branch is the beer. I loved everything I sampled here, particularly the Double IPA named Is It Hoppy. I was quite impressed by the quality of the beer overall and after chatting it up with the co- owner, I learned that he developed his interest starting with a homebrewing kit he received many years ago. He loved it so much that it led to the opening of High Branch Brewing and we, the beer drinking public, should be ever- grateful. Aiming high is important in the world of craft beer. The competition continues to heat up with each passing week as more and more breweries enter the fold. Cabarrus County has many excellent places for beer and I can say with confidence that High Branch Brewing rates among the very best in terms of beer- not just in the local area, but also in the United States. It’s a must- visit place if you love crafted suds!

Mills Means More! More stores. More brands. More savings. More fun. The largest shopping and entertainment destination of the Carolinas serving Cabarrus, Mecklenburg and other surrounding counties. Concord Mills is located just off I-85 at exit 49, just one mile from Charlotte Motor Speedway. A wonderful climate controlled indoor mall, featuring over 200 stores including manufacturer and retail outlets, off-price retailers, and unique specialty stores ranging from women’s apparel to sporting goods to jewelry. Enjoy retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, Nike Factory Store, Banana Republic Factory Store, Ann Taylor Factory Store, Tommy Bahama Outlet and more. A festive food court, a 24-screen AMC theatre and North Carolina’s only Bass Pro Shops are also part of the shopping adventure. Also, while you are visiting, we have even more choices in stores in our sister mall, SouthPark, located in South Charlotte. So from the entire Concord Mills team, we hope that you will visit us soon!

This was part of an anniversary trip for me and my husband. The mall has a variety of stores to shop, food court, movie theater, and everything else you can think of. The good thing about this mall is there are lots of places to stay within walking distance to a couple of miles away. That doesn't count the speedway and a variety of other restaurants are close by, too. Come here couple of times a year. Love Concord Mills Mall
