July 2024

Welcome to the Town of Oak Island's Business Bulletin! Every edition is crafted to illuminate the latest updates, insights, and opportunities, tailored exclusively for the local business community. Join us as we shine a spotlight on the heartbeat of commerce in the Town of Oak Island, fostering connections, and fostering growth.

One never really knows the road that life will take you down, and the journey you will travel to arrive at a place that says the adventure was well worth it. Denny and Jackie Del Prete, owners of Dunes Mercantile Gifts and Guitars were both born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. Growing up, they believed they would stay in the area and grow old in the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania. But as life happens, twists and turns and opportunities sent them on an adventure they never imagined....

In order to enhance community resilience against natural disasters, particularly hurricanes, we are gathering critical information from local businesses.

This first questionnaire is designed to collect essential contact details, enabling us to coordinate effectively in the event of emergencies such as evacuations, curfews, and other urgent situations.

Your participation will ensure that we can quickly reach the right individuals and make informed decisions to protect our community and support each other in times of need.

Help our first responders help you and your business. Community Connect is a free, secure, and easy to use platform that allows you to share critical information that will aid first responders and emergency response personnel when responding to your property.

The Town of Oak Island would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the local businesses who generously donated gift cards to support our Oak Island Beach Day activities. Your contributions were instrumental in making our community event a tremendous success.
