Can anyone in the KP / Concord Area help me locate the BIZ AG Cheeseburger and Chicken Sandwich?

Hello, long story short. My other post got deleted for some reason but I am having a hard time finding the BIG AZ brand Chicken sandwiches and Cheeseburgers. My Dad has been gone a while and these kind of remind me of him. Have called numerous vendors and the usual route seems to be wholesale only.Their locator on their page also doesn't work . I know there has to be a local corner store or gas station that sells these. I need exact locations. Please help. Mods, please don't delete. Ty. (Not an advertisement. photo for reference)

Anybody play drums and want to jam?

35 year old male, I have a bassist lined up. Just looking to play, not too picky. I would like to play heavier stuff and use my 7 string but if not whatever. Punk, hardcore, stoner/sludge, definitely heavier alternative based. If anybody plays drums or bass or sings a little bit shoot me a dm

Moving to Northern CLT suburbs

My husband and I are hopefully relocating to the northern side of CLT in the next few months due to my job. I’ve lived in Concord before for about a year (in apartments right by Afton/the SuperTarget) before moving out of state, and we’re debating if we want to be on the 77 or 85 side of town. I enjoyed where I was near Afton, but also felt like I was missing some of the things off 77 (ex. Costco, Harris Teeter) but never wanted to drive over there because it’s such a mess with traffic. We’ve got friends and family in Mooresville, Davidson, and Matthews. My husband works remotely, so commute will not be an issue for him. I’ll be splitting my time two days a week commuting to uptown and two days a week in Concord near Carolina Mall for work. I’ll be working 4 10s so I should be able to shift my time going in/out and avoid traffic in at least one direction if needed.

Looking for any opinions y’all have about concord/kannapolis vs Huntersville/Mooresville area. Were younger (mid/late 20s) and are planning to start having kids in the next year or two, so definitely interested in thoughts on schools, access to daycare, the people/“vibe” in each area, traffic/commute to Uptown, local restaurants/bars, etc. Any thoughts feelings y’all can give would be great!! I didn’t spend a ton of time in CLT before I moved, and I’ve been gone several years so I don’t want to rely on my old knowledge!

Gluten-free restaurant options?

I’ve got a friend visiting this weekend, and he’s unable to eat gluten due to an intolerance and I’d rather not make him violently sick. We’ve made it work in the past by cooking at home, but we’d like to go out this time - are there any GF options you’d recommend in the area? Willing to go into Charlotte/Huntersville/Concord etc., but it’s proving hard to find safe restaurants for him.

Thank you!

Crime in downtown?

Is crime downtown common? My gf and I visited for the first time this evening, it was lovely but I noticed a large group of teens running around. Not too long after some poor kid had stumbled out of a parking deck beaten and robbed. Was curious if this is common?

Does anyone know the going rental price for the new 77 Apartments?

Kannapolis, N.C., residents will soon have a new place to call home. Ohio-based developer and manager of single-story apartment homes, Redwood Living, Inc, is set to open its latest neighborhood in the region: Redwood Kannapolis Davidson.

“With four other neighborhoods throughout greater Charlotte, Redwood Kannapolis Davidson builds on Redwood’s strong regional reputation and addresses increased demand in the market,” said Kaley Amburn, regional manager at Redwood. “This location offers convenient access to I-85 along with nearby parks and retail destinations. We are confident that residents will appreciate the lifestyle that comes with calling a Redwood apartment home.”

Telephone service providers

Hi all, I’ve been in Kannapolis for about a year now and I’ve always had AT&T but ever since I’ve been here the service SUCKS. I’m constantly with 1 bar and low speeds.

Wondering if anyone has experienced the same and also wondering what other providers do yall use and how the service has been?

I’m considering switching to something else

Considering moving and questions about schools with an ADHD child

Hi everyone! Our family may be moving and we are considering Kannapolis. We enjoy smaller town feel but still with plenty to do and growth, it sounds like Kannapolis fits the bill. I have one kid with ADHD and was wondering what the schools were like in general or how they do with neurodivergent kids. He does not have an IEP (yet) but it's always a future possibly. He's a super sweet boy, in therapy and occupational therapy, and has combined type but leans toward inattentive. I would be so appreciative if you could tell me all the good and bad about the local schools. Thanks!

Kannapolis approved 7.05 cent decrease in property taxes.

This is an interesting move by the city council. I wonder if Concord will follow suit.

The Kannapolis City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget Monday evening with a vote of 4-3. The total recommended budget is $123,106,329 which includes all seven operating funds of the City.

The budget includes a 7.05 cent decrease in the property tax rate.

Best/Worst Areas in Kannapolis / Concord, NC to Raise a Family

My husband and I are moving to Kannapolis / Concord, NC. I’m doing my own research, but nothing can compare to real people giving their experiences! Do any of you have any recommendations for neighborhoods or general areas that are safe / family friendly? I’ve only been to a few spots in Kannapolis and it seems really laid back. On the flip side —— Areas to avoid living at would also be appreciated:) I grew up around quite a bit of violence due to racism, drugs, alcohol and shootings in the CLT area… so I’d just like to avoid that in this next season of life if possible.

For our descriptions that may help with location recommendations: we’re a Christian, Korean-White-Arab couple who just want a chill lifestyle in a friendly community. We enjoy basically all food as our friend group is quite diverse. Safe parks / recreational spots are great. Thank you so much for any input!

Where to sleep in car?

Hi! I (23F) currently do not have a place to live and am currently living in my car while I look for a place to live. Does anyone know if any places that will let you sleep in your car undisturbed in the area? This can include Concord too. Thank you!!

Temporarily Rehome Pets

Just as the title suggests. Im (23F) having to move out from my apartment suddenly and would need time to look for a place. I have two kittens and two guinea pigs that I do not want living in my car with me while I get my situation figured out. If someone could temporarily take care of them while I get back on my feet, that would be so so amazing. I would pay you to take care of them, of course. Please let me know if you are interested!

Thank you!

Subletting in one of the historic millhouses!

What I am looking for in a roommate:

(1) Cleanliness is a priority for me. Someone that can do their dishes, help do chores weekly like sweep the floor and dust, and keep their stuff picked up is an excellent fit. (2) Clean and open communication. I want a roommate who tells me their plans, specifically who they plan over. Also, someone who doesn’t mind taking the time to do conflict resolution when there is a disagreement. I want to set time aside to sit down each month to talk through what is working, what isn’t, and to check-in generally. (3) Paying your rent on time. It will be 600$ a month plus 75-100$ depending on how much we use the utilities. Punctuality when it comes to paying on time is key. If there is a financial problem, let me know. Letting me know let us work and plan a solution rather than waiting. (4) Respecting the neighbors. Being friendly with the neighbors and, most importantly, keeping the noise down when it gets dark is important. It is a pretty quiet neighborhood with children and the elderly. I'm asking for awareness to keep anything rude or offensive inside as opposed to outside. (5) Safeguard the house from damage. Any damages to the house need to be reported to the landlord immediately. There is a maintenance man who can come and repair anything that breaks down naturally.The landlord has made it clear to me to be extra careful of the hardwood floors not to scratch them with furniture without sliding pads. With that in mind, it is okay to hang things up with small nails as well as decorate. (6) Commitment to a lease and trial period. I am interested in someone who can sign a sublease for a year. Additionally, I will ask that we have a 3 month trial period to see if we are a compatible set of roommates. If not, it’s alright to voice that you don’t think it’s going to work after trying and finding another place to live. Please aim to give me a two week window before moving out to find another roommate.

​

​

​

​

​

What I offer as a roommate:

​

(1) I am happy to lend my things and space as needed. Any kitchen appliances or tools I encourage you to borrow so you don’t necessarily have to buy a second one initially. The common spaces such as the kitchen and living are available for cooking and having others over. You can also use the yard and backyard as outdoor spaces. There’s an immense amount of There is a stove, oven, washer, dryer, and microwave I encourage you to use. I also have a lot of board games. (2) I am open minded. I consider myself non-judgemental. Everyone has their way of moving through the world. As long as it’s not outright illegal, I can coexist with it even if it’s not something I'm interested in. (3) I enjoy talking and hanging out. My current interests include: Acoustic & Folk Music, Cooking, Dancing, Dungeons and Dragons, Environmentalism, Gardening and Ultimate Frisbee to name a few things. I also am a big proponent of talking things out when disagreements arise. I don’t mind setting time aside for that and owning up to my mistakes as I make them. It may take me to address my errors after recognizing them as I can be slow to change. I am willing to continue to try until there is definite compromise.

​

PM what you think and any questions you have! The goal is to have someone move in as early as May 1st.

Any private landlords?

Any private landlords?

I’m looking for private landlords within Concord/Kannapolis that I could reach out to. I’m looking to secure a place to stay, a two bedroom apartment or home. Please let me know where I could find them, whether it’s a website or something. Nothing creepy either.

Thank you!
