Nichols Store started as a small country store selling gas and groceries in 1968 under founder Tommy "Papa Tom" Nichols. When Darren Nichols took over in 1989, he transformed it into a full-service outdoor retail operation. Now celebrating over 30 years under Darren's ownership, the store has become the go-to destination for hunters, shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts across the Piedmont region.
The 1980 Mt Holly Road location features high ceilings, cedar-paneled walls, and trophy mounts that create an authentic hunting lodge atmosphere. The store is organized into distinct departments:
Firearms Department Over 50 firearms brands in stock, including Browning, Remington, Winchester, Ruger, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Daniel Defense, and many others. They handle new and used firearms for big game, wing shooting, target competition, and personal protection. The gun counter staff provides expert service and repairs.
Archery Pro Shop Fully staffed with trained technicians who handle repairs and warranty work on-site. They carry compound bows and crossbows from Hoyt, Elite, Bear, Tenpoint, Wicked Ridge, Parker, Excalibur, and Barnett. Full line of accessories: Rage and Muzzy broadheads, arrows, knocks, quivers, and targets from Block, Delta McKenzie, and Big Green. Used bows also available.
