Shrunken Head Boutique to add second storefront on East Franklin Street

Posted Nov 14, 2023
The Shrunken Head Boutique is adding an additional storefront at 161 East Franklin Street, just a few doors down from its current location, which has been in business since 1969. Melissa Pate, store manager and the granddaughter of the shop's founders, said that the business has maxed out its space. She uses her home to run a "warehouse operation." (Daily Tar Heel)
