Several new small businesses open on Franklin Street and in downtown Chapel Hill


Chapel Hill and Franklin Street recently have welcomed new businesses selling goods ranging from crystals and locally-made art to men's clothing and home goods. Above Sutton’s Drugstore is Map Dot, which sells goods the owners describe as “curated extras.” The store was created by UNC grads and sisters Deedee Mills Hagner and Melissa Mills Lebo.
