Hickory Metro's own Zackary Cranford has been named one of the Top North Carolina Business Trailblazers in Business North Carolina Magazine! Zackary has accomplished so much by opening the first legal bourbon whiskey distillery in North Carolina. His distillery. Foothills Distillery, is home of the award-winning Seventeen Twelve Spirits. Zackary has also opened two restaurants in the Hickory Metro, Standard Oyster Company and Charolais Steak House. 2019 Trailblazers

Thanks to Family Forward NC for the nomination.
