Chris Starling
General Manager
My favorite aspect of managing Cork & Brew is meeting new people and spending time with old friends. I bring with me over 30 years of experience from operating two successful grocery chains. I grew up nearby and have always taken great pride in our small communities. I love spending time with my family and playing golf in my free time. My family and I attend Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Falcon, NC
When you visit Cork & Brew, it is my hope that you feel comfortable and relaxed; and when you leave, you are ready to take on the world.
I look forward to serving our community and getting to know you all.
