In October, Hart’s Soda Shop will add a family-friendly drink option to NoDa when it opens its brick-and-mortar location in the heart of the Arts District, according to a recent report.

For more than a year, Hart’s has been whipping up tasty floats and sodas from its vintage VW Bus and popping up at food truck rallies and private events. Now, Kara and Greg Urquhart, the duo behind Hart’s have leased a space to plant roots in North Davidson.

The 908 E. 35th St. location, at the intersection of Whiting Avenue, is 700 square feet and fulfills the couple’s original dream of having a permanent location for them to support other local food sources in creating their own culinary concoctions. Hart’s inked a 3-year lease for the space.

The Urquhart’s, who use vanilla ice cream from Waxhaw Creamery in their floats, hope to support several more local businesses in their new location by offering coffee, baked goods and more ice cream flavors.

The trendy NoDa area of Charlotte caters to the eclectic and local with artists, local restaurants and, more recently, an uprising of local breweries. For Charlotteans with children, Hart’s will give them a destination in the neighborhood.

Not just a day-trip destination, NoDa has some fantastic real estate! Currently, there are 12 properties for sale in NoDa,  both renovated and unrenovated older homes.
