Not my first visit to a Pepper Palace. I've been to Pepper Palace locations in Illinois, Florida and Louisiana before this place. Initially, I was excited to see a Pepper Palace location because I know how amazing they are. However, I was rather disappointed with limited selection of samples and overall availability of Pepper Palace offerings. The last Pepper Palaces I visited were in New Orleans, LA and though they were smaller than the Concord, NC location, they offered many more samples and purchasing options.
if I'm ever in Concord, NC and need hot sauce, I'll visit this location again. However, I'd never drop into this location specifically to purchase items I've found in Florida, Illinois and Louisiana.
