MENUWELCOME TO BAUCOM BUSINESS PLAZA
If you’ve driven down Hwy 401 lately, you may have noticed a fresh new addition popping up – and trust us, it’s more than just storage. Baucom Business Plaza is a brand-new, veteran-owned storage facility right outside of downtown Fuquay-Varina, and it’s quickly becoming a little community hub of its own.
Conveniently located just minutes from Fuquay and an easy drive from Angier, Lillington, Willow Spring, and Holly Springs, Baucom Business Plaza is designed to make life easier – whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or just need a little extra space.
Baucom Business Plaza offers:
Easy online rentals
Clean, well-lit, and professionally managed facilities
From household items and seasonal décor to business equipment and vehicles, their units are designed to fit real needs – all without the stress. The team prides themselves on customer satisfaction and professional service, making storage one less thing to worry about.
And did we mention…they’re veteran-owned? We love supporting businesses that serve our community in more ways than one.
One of the coolest parts about Baucom Business Plaza? It’s not just functional – it’s fun. Right on the plaza grounds, you’ll find two local food trucks that make this spot worth visiting even if you don’t need storage (yet 👀).
Steaktion is bringing something totally unique to the Fuquay area with their Colombian barrel-style cooking. They slow-smoke their meats inside custom barrels, creating tender, juicy cuts with deep, smoky flavor…cue the mouth watering 🤤
Expect crave-worthy favorites like:
Crunchy, flavorful pork belly
Their iconic Pork Belly Ceviche
Bullfries
Cowboy Corn
Burgers
Signature barrel-smoked meats
Every dish is made fresh, with high-quality ingredients and serious attention to detail. They describe it best: comfort food with a twist. And yes…it’s as good as it sounds.
Even better? Steaktion is family-run, and you can feel the love in everything they do. They’re here to share good food, good moments, and a taste of something different, and we’re so here for it.
Right alongside Steaktion, you’ll find SipSide Coffee Bar, a coffee trailer rooted in faith, community, and really good coffee. The trailer itself was designed and built by Aerobuild Customs in Nashville, TN, and it’s just as beautiful as it is functional.
SipSide is now owned by Emma Wood, who comes from a long line of entrepreneurs with a heart for people and community. Her mission is simple and powerful:
To share the love of God through friendly service and quality products.
SipSide partners with Oak City Coffee Roasters, who use a portion of their profits to provide opportunities for people around the world to lead meaningful, productive lives – so every cup truly gives back.
As if their made-to-order coffee wasn’t enough, SipSide also offers bottled lattes, the same handcrafted quality you love from the trailer, now bottled and ready to enjoy anytime. Whether you’re stocking your fridge for the week, hosting a party, planning a corporate event, or just want a quick grab-and-go treat, these bottled lattes make coffee moments even easier (and more delicious).
And because no coffee moment is complete without something savory and/or sweet, SipSide also offers scones, making it the perfect stop for a cozy treat, mid-morning pick-me-up, or casual meet-up with a friend.
HOURS | MONDAY – FRIDAY | 7am – 1pm
While monthly markets are on the way, Baucom Business Plaza has already been creating meaningful, well-attended community events…and if you’ve missed them, don’t worry, there’s plenty more coming.
🎉 Fall Celebration & Grand Opening – November 2025
Baucom Business Plaza officially kicked things off with a Fall Celebration Grand Opening that was truly go big or go home – and they absolutely went big.
The event featured:
Live bands (Revel Sun & Rob Jones Band)
Multiple food trucks (including The Q Truck, Lili’s Kitchen, Fat Cat Ice Cream & Bits-N-Pieces Cookies)
30+ local vendors
Bounce houses, a fire truck, and RV showcases
And tons of family-friendly fun
It was the perfect mix of community, small business support, music, food, and fun – the kind of event that makes you proud to live in a small town. Truly such a strong way to introduce themselves to Fuquay. If you were there, you already know…and if you weren’t, just know you definitely missed out 😅
✨ Christmas Market – December 2025
This wasn’t your average pop-up. Baucom hosted a beautiful, family-friendly Christmas Market designed especially with kids in mind and perfect for last-minute holiday shopping.
There were tons of local vendors, crafting experiences, kids activities, hot drinks, great food, s’mores, and all the cozy festive vibes. It was the kind of event where you actually wanted to linger, and the turnout proved the community was here for it.
🔥 Traditional Colombian New Year’s Lunch – January 1st
Talk about starting the year strong. Baucom Plaza rang in 2026 with a Traditional Colombian New Year’s Sancocho lunch, featuring a three-phase beef, pork, and chicken sancocho served with arroz, patacones, picadillo, and aguapanela.
It was a beautiful celebration of culture, food, and community…and such a unique experience to have right here in Fuquay.
✨ Vision Board Workshop – January 17th
Next up, they’re hosting a Manifesting 2026 Vision Board Workshop – a cozy, inspiring event designed to help you dream, plan, and step confidently into what’s next.
Coffee, empanadas, all supplies, and even a curated goodie bag are included (yes please 👀). Limited spots, intimate setting, and major main-character energy.
And because they truly thought of everything, their seating area is now fully enclosed with a tent so you can stay warm while enjoying SipSide Coffee Bar and Steaktion during these chilly days.
Warm drinks, hot food, community tables, and winter-friendly vibes = elite combo.
As if storage, BBQ, and coffee weren’t enough…Baucom Business Plaza will also be hosting vendor markets throughout the year, with plans for at least one market per month featuring multiple local vendors.
Think:
✨ small businesses
✨ makers & creatives
✨ pop-up shops
✨ community vibes
It’s another way they’re creating a space that brings people together, not just a place you pass through, but a place you actually want to stop and hang out.
Be sure to follow their social media pages so you don’t miss market dates, vendor announcements, and event details!

To help everyone flow smoothly:

These routes help bypass the closed downtown core and get you to open parking areas without confusion.
Park outside the red-shaded closure area for an easier exit.
Streets east and west of Main stay open and are great options.
Arrive a little early if you want to snag a close spot before the 6:00pm countdown crowd rolls in!

If there’s one thing that makes the holidays in Fuquay-Varina feel extra magical, it’s the way our local farms open their gates and invite families to slow down, soak in the season.

Located on Cotton Road, Broken Plow is a true family farm, one that’s been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 70 years. As Fuquay continues to grow, the family wanted to share the beauty and simplicity they’ve always known: open fields, tractor paths, twinkling lights, and the kind of down-to-earth fun that reminds us what the holidays are all about.
Today, Broken Plow Farms welcomes the community year-round with fresh produce, jarred goods, seasonal events, a haunted trail, Easter celebrations, vendor fairs, and more.
