Salem Creek was founded in 1982 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and is one of the most unique specialty retailers of its kind.

The store features shoppes of quality merchandise from vendors all over the world. The "Nutcracker Suite", a year-round Christmas Shoppe within the store, offers a full array of collectibles and decorative accessories for the holiday season.

Store themes change with every season. Spring features an abundance of floral stems and wreaths. Potpourris and scented candles with fragrances of the season fill the air. Easter baskets, gourmet foods and candies, rabbits and collectibles make the spring season special.

Summer is evidenced with the arrival of merchandise in the Garden Shoppe. Birdbaths, birdhouses, torches, garden flags, fountains and ivy topiaries are some of the best-selling items during the summer season.

Fall arrives in the store immediately following the Christmas in July Sale which comes the last week in July. Fall floral, pumpkins and ghosts, Halloween decorations and gifts, cinnamon cider and hot cider drink mixes make this season extra special.

The Christmas season opens in full swing beginning with Christmas Open House, the first Sunday in November. The store transcends to a Christmas Wonderland almost overnight. Breathtaking displays with Christmas trees of all shapes and sizes make Christmas the most special of all seasons. The smells and sounds of Christmas abound throughout every corner of the store. Gourmet food is a popular option during this season. Lighted village houses, collectible ornaments, gift bags and calendars for the upcoming new year are a sampling of Salem Creek's Holiday gift lines.
