Cheers to Makenna as she goes off to nursing school!
It’s always bittersweet when members of our Nicola’s family move away. We will miss Makenna greatly but know that she will be an absolutely AMAZING nurse!
Stop by and say bye to Makenna before she heads back home to Currituck County to start nursing school and pursue her dreams!

Excuse us for being “all up in our feels today.” We always reflect on our work week (especially after big holidays) to evaluate how things are going, and where we can do better.
Week after week, we come to the same conclusion…
We honestly have the best of the best! The best staff and customers in all of NC.
We love what we do and are grateful for the opportunity to make other people happy! Thank you to everyone that supports us at Nicola’s. The support, the friendships, our staff, and all the love….. we are Grateful!
