MEET THE HARTWELL TEAM
CAITLIN WARD
OWNER
Hartwell was originally built as M.H’s Grocerteria in the late 1950s by my grandfather. As a Raleigh native, it's been so exciting to see our city grow. We are so happy to be a part of Raleigh's growth! We are looking forward to continuing my family's legacy by having our space serve as a retail and community space offering goods from local makers as well as indoor and outdoor spaces to host workshops, events, pop-ups, outdoor markets and more. Opening a community space has been incredibly rewarding. I am so thankful for every opportunity we get to be a part of your lives and to be a part of Raleigh.
MATT DANIELS
OWNER
Originally from Pennsylvania, Matt came to N.C for college. We convinced him to stay and the rest is history! We met bartending together in downtown Raleigh. In addition to Hartwell, we own a residential renovation business and are specifically focused on preserving and restoring the Boylan Heights community. Matt is the blood and sweat behind Hartwell. We also have a young family that keeps us on our toes. If you've been to Hartwell you've most likely seen our little crew running around. It's exciting to be able to introduce the next generation to our family business.
ALEX NORRIS
GENERAL MANAGER
Alex has been in the hospitality industry in Downtown Raleigh for over a decade. He has worked for some of Raleigh’s finest restauarnts, most recently coming from Death and Taxes. Alex knows good beer, wine and how to create a damn good craft cocktail. When he isn’t running the show at Hartwell he’s probably on the drums with his band, Thick Modine . Alex is also an incredible family man and lover of the Downtown Raleigh community. We’re so lucky to have him on our team!
