There is a large (primarily illegal) Latino community in the Hickory/Lincolnton area, which includes some Dominicans, although most are Mexican and Costa Rican. Many work in the furniture factories, where the "locals" are unwilling to work for what the manufacturers are willing to pay. At Fantasia night club in Hickory you can dance Bachata and Merengue any Friday or Saturday night (although they play mostly Reggaeton).

We have a Compare Foods, a Dominican owned supermarket, a new Dominican restaurant called El Rancho downtown opened by some of our friends that also have a restaurant in New York, a bail bonding company, and a karate class owned and operated by a Dominican man. My wife is hooping to add to the Dominican business presence here soon also... she is studying cosmetology and hoping to have her own shop here soon.
I am 31 and from NC originally. I would be glad to offer any information that I can to assist. From the mountains in the west to the beaches on the east, NC has so much to offer!

Thumbs up Few of us in SC too!

There's a considerable number of Dominicans in South Carolina as well, namely in the city of Rock Hill (suburb of Charlotte across the state line).

We all pretty much know each other from going to the same Christian church in Charlotte, NC.

If you'd like to meet and gather with us, send me a PM.

God bless.

Well we moved 2 years ago and we have adjusted really well. We have met quite a few Dominicans here. There are many Dominican businesses here and I hear that a Dominican Club is on the way!
