Ribbon Cutting - Tailgate by Shrunken Head

Friday, February 21, 2025 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EST)

Description

The Shrunken Head family is thrilled to introduce Tailgate by Shrunken Head, the newest addition to Chapel Hill's iconic Franklin Street! Located just three doors down from the Shrunken Head Boutique at 161 E. Franklin Street, Tailgate will continue to be a local, family-owned small business proudly offering UNC-licensed gear for Tar Heel fans. Don't worry, though—Shrunken Head Boutique will remain in its legendary location, featuring a variety of Chapel Hill apparel and gifts for North Carolinians and visitors alike. Join us for our grand opening celebration weekend, which will feature a ribbon cutting at 10 a.m., special promotions, giveaways, and an opportunity to explore Tailgate by Shrunken Head's expanded selection of UNC merchandise. There will also be pop-ups at our in-store Tailgate from local businesses, talent, and artisans! More details to follow on our social media (Instagram: @shrunkenheadstore).
