The Innovation Quarter is the fastest growing part of town, with huge plans to expand and connect to East Winston one day. Housed in what once was the manufacturing space of RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company, the IQ has repurposed old buildings in creative ways to design stunning modern spaces that draw crowds. Full of beautiful spaces, like Bailey Park, the IQ is home to multiple apartment and condo complexes and a growing number of businesses who are rushing to fill the demands.
Their original location, right in the center of Innovation Quarter. Grab some soft-serve and stroll through Bailey Park.
Now located in Innovation Quarter, Black Mountain Chocolate has expanded its offerings and is a full-service bar as well! They make the best chocolate bars in town, but you also won’t want to miss their cocoa nib brownies or chocolate chip cookies (trust us!). Indulge in a cocktail with dessert, or grab some bakery goods to-go; either way, don’t miss this spot.
A bicycle shop in Innovation Quarter that not only sells bicycles and accessories but also offers professional service, assembly, instruction, and repairs by appointment!
A gym, located in Bailey Power Plant downtown, that teaches functional training, which combines HIIT and circuit-style workouts that last 45 minutes. Classes are done in a group setting and encourage a “team” mentality.
Long Branch Trail runs from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, through Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, under Business 40, to Salem Creek Greenway.
A coffee shop in Innovation Quarter–the second location of the original shop in High Point. Great coffee, free WiFi, trained baristas, and local art in a relaxing atmosphere.
Small-batch coffee roaster and cafe offering breakfast and lunch (& brunch, of course) along with booze and excellent coffee. Their biscuits are unreal, plus the brunch cocktails are a perfect compliment to the meal.
