Franklin Street's Shrunken Head Boutique perseveres through temporary closure due to flooding
Posted Mar 15, 2022
Last December, the Shrunken Head Boutique’s manager and granddaughter of the shop founders, Melissa Pate, received a phone call from Chapel Hill Police saying the Franklin Street store flooded. The sprinkler system in the offices above the shop malfunctioned overnight, which led Shrunken Head to endure hours of flooding that soaked most merchandise.
