HELENE IMPACT: Once you’re off the highway, you might experience some heavy traffic around the Black Mountain Ingles on NC-9 (Black Mt Ave./Montreat Rd.) and at the intersection of NC-9 and State St. The primary reason is that our Ingles grocery store is generously serving as a Hurricane Helene operations center and donations distribution site. The other reason is that the Swannanoa Ingles is closed for repairs, so their customers are coming to Black Mountain.
