Sylva’s business scene has not been evolving as rapidly as it has in the past, but still, there is a new place for tattoos and another for kitchen supplies to cook everything under the sun. A Mill Street fixture left town, businesses moved and a Jackson County landmark has new owners.
Julie Fox Jones on July 1 opened The Wildkitchen at 567 W. Main St., an eclectic combination of seemingly everything having to do with cooking.
Jones is “one of the Tilley Creek Foxes” and graduated from Smoky Mountain High School in 2003, she said.
“We have a lot of local products, like glassware, pottery, cutting boards and things like that for the kitchen at home,” Jones said. “In addition we also have the traditional kitchen gadgets, small appliances, cookware, knives and utensils. We have a lot of pre-made kits for people who are just starting out and want to learn new things to do in the kitchen, like start making cheese or brewing things, we have a lot of supplies for that.”
Food preservation items, like Mason jars, will be an offering.
“We’ll be doing a lot of classes and education,” Jones said. “We’ve got some books for beginners as well on things like gardening and brewing and preservation methods.”
Hours are 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. Thursday through Monday and Wildkitchen can be found online at www.wildkitchensupply.com.
Gemini Tattoo and Body Piercing has opened at 1363 E. Main St., the former home of a vape shop in front of AlienFix Phone Repair.
“I had a shop in Hickory for a while and then COVID-19 shut her down,” business owner Curtis Lamoureux said. “I moved up here and got a job but started missing the art of tattooing, so I talked to people around here and scouted an area and opened up Gemini Tatoo.”
Lamoureux is ready to apply ink of any style to any place.
“I do it all,” he said. “I do the neo-traditional, traditional, black and gray, Japanese. I’ve been in the field for about 30 years.”
Hours are noon to 10 p.m. weekdays and noon until midnight on weekends. Gemini can be found on Facebook and at 354-0164.
Rodney and Loraine Conard of Waynesville now own the Balsam Mountain Inn. The married duo promise to be in touch for an interview soon.
So far, the only thing they have said about the Inn is “It needs lots of love.”
After a 14-year run on Mill Street, Eric Hendrix has closed Eric’s Fresh Fish & Wine Market.
Citing health reasons, Hendrix said in an email “I have realized it is time to close my Sylva location and concentrate all of my efforts in Franklin ... it has become apparent that focusing my time and energy on one store, in the town I first moved to in 1983, makes the most sense. Norma and I have grandchildren and want to spend more time with them!”
Hendrix’s restaurant can be found at 1545 Highlands Road in Franklin. For more information, visit www.ericsfreshfishmarket.com/.
Smoky Mountain Pregnancy Care Center has moved from Cullowhee to 1165 West Main St. at the former location of Sip Sum tea house.

Dillsboro’s Greystone building at the corner of Church Street and Haywood Road has been purchased by the Beasleys of Haywood Smokehouse fame.
Constructed in 1938 by Reales Sutton, the river-rock structure was built as a hotel/restaurant catering to tourists on U.S. 19/23, which ran along Haywood Road at the time. In latter years, the building became home to an antique shop and a real estate office.
Catamount Cinemas, an independently owned and operated four-screen movie theater, will replace the old Quin Theater in Sylva. Catamount Cinemas can be found on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CatamountCinemas and through their website at catamountcinemas.com/.
Fit for Life moved out of its East Main location in the soon-to-be-demolished Blossman Gas building and is now serving up healthy fare at 34 E. Sylva Shopping Center. Fit For Life is a nutrition club offering protein shakes, herbal tea, energy drinks and supplements.
At 474 W. Main Street, Parlor & Co. is set to open in the former site of Natalie Nicole Boutique + Salon. Owner Natalie Newman moved away from clothing and into salon services. The focus is going to be hair, face and body – salon care, beauty care and self-care services.
Newman hopes to open sometime in mid-August, she said.
