Franklin Street means tradition, celebration to Tar Heels fans

Posted Mar 31, 2017
For the past 40 years Don Pinney has spent his days talking basketball and serving food to fans on Franklin Street. Pinney owns Sutton’s Drug Store. His parents started working at the store in 1958. “At one time, we were the only place that served burgers on the street,” said Pinney. “So, we kind of just fed the players.” Sutton’s has been serving up hot meals to UNC fans for 94 years.
