Since 1972, The Grocery Bag has been a beloved family-owned business and the home of the "Almost Famous" hotdog. Conveniently located in the historic Percy Flowers Building, the restaurant has proudly served the community for more than 50 years and has sold over 9 million hotdogs along the way.

Owned and operated by Donna Fitzgerald and Hayley Hodge, The Grocery Bag is more than just a place to enjoy a great meal—it's a gathering place where friends become family, memories are made, and neighbors come together.

Visitors can also explore Crossroads Boutique & Gifts, the family's women-owned retail shop located alongside The Grocery Bag. The boutique offers gifts, local foods, clothing for women, men, and children, and unique finds for every occasion. Gift wrapping is also available, making it easy to find the perfect present.

The Grocery Bag team is deeply grateful for the continued support of the Flowers community. That support has allowed the business to serve generations of families, and they look forward to remaining a local favorite for many years to come.

The Grocery Bag was recently featured in an article by Our State magazine about Carolina Packers, highlighting it as one of the best places to stop for North Carolina's famous red hot dogs.
