KILL DEVIL HILLS, N.C. Derick and Jessica Wineland run Mom’s Sweet Shop in Kill Devil Hills and they depend on travelers.
The “eclectic” boutique, as Derick describes, mixes retail and vintage clothing with ice cream and vegan smoothies on the Outer Banks. However, the married couple also hosts two AirBnb spaces near the shop, and shops are already booked into the summer.
“People are booking up, and I think it is going to be an extremely busy season,” said Wineland.

If you were watching Sunday’s Super Bowl on the local CBS affiliate and stuck it out to the end of the game, you might have been surprised to see a commercial about Stokes County.
“Stokes County State of Mind” was not a nationwide, multi-million dollar ad buy, but a regional commercial purchased with WFMY-TV that was mostly paid for with grant funding. It was the work of County Tourism Director Tory Mabe and a host of others.
Back in the fall, Mabe began applying for grants wuth the North Carolina Department of Travel and Tourism, and was able to secure more than $20,000 through COVID Cares funding.
