Partner Spotlight
Hickory & Oak Gift Card Promotion
The WCPS Education Foundation raised $3,000 through a collaborative effort with restaurateur and WCPS 2025 HODA Inductee Josh Poling.
Josh, a 2004 Greenwood High School graduate, is a successful restaurant entrepreneur and business owner. He first opened the restaurant Home Cafe & Marketplace with his wife, Chelsey, in 2011. In 2018, the couple opened Hickory & Oak, an upscale restaurant, making a one-million-dollar investment in downtown Bowling Green. Through Mr. Poling’s generosity, Hickory & Oak is known for numerous community events including providing steaks to veterans on Veterans Day, as well as gifting steaks to local educators during the first week of school. He also integrates the restaurant into downtown events which are vital to the community’s culture.
In June 2024, the Polings acquired Broadbent B&B Foods.
