Anson Economic Development Corporation

Ashley Carter, president of Lobal-Wakol North America, was named the Energizing Anson award winner for 2022 at the Anson County Industry Appreciation Luncheon on September 9th. Ashley worked with AnsonEDP to move the North American headquarters of the German floor care and adhesive products company to Wadesboro in 2019 and has been a strong advocate and tireless volunteer for the community since.  The luncheon, which was the first held in person since the start of COVID, was held at the terminal building of the Anson County Airport. 

A new restaurant, the Ansonia Soup Company, will soon be opening in Uptown Wadesboro. The locally-owned business will offer a variety of soups, salads, and pasta dishes featuring locally and regionally sourced ingredients. The venture is the brainchild of Chef Monica Ann, who has appeared twice on Food Network's "Chopped" cooking contest and was a private chef and caterer in Chicago for 12 years.  The restaurant will open in the old Velvet Creations space on South Greene Street, likely in October, pending renovations and inspections.
