A new UNC team store is now open at the storefront on 120 East Franklin Street in downtown Chapel Hill with Dyehard by Follett, which is described as “the preeminent fan retail experience in collegiate athletics” in a release by the university.
Dyehard will offer “an enhanced in-person shopping experience,” including several pieces of merchandise with name, image and likeness tie-ins. Brands such as Nike, Jordan, Tommy Bahama, Johnnie-O and Peter Millar will all be featured in-store.
“We are thrilled to have a partner in Dyehard by Follett that is committed to supporting the needs of Carolina fans not only on game day, but every day,” said UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham. “This will not only be a space to buy merchandise, but also to celebrate being a Tar Heel fan.”
The space at 120 East Franklin Street has been vacant since The Library – a popular bar and nightclub – closed its doors in the summer of 2021. The space was sold to Chapel Hill Foundation Real Estate Holdings, Inc., which develops and manages real estate projects on behalf of the university, more than two years later. The university and its real estate foundation owns the property that houses the addresses between 116 and 150 East Franklin Street. This stretch includes the new Admissions and Visitor Center as well as several businesses, including Carolina Coffee Shop and Cosmic Cantina. Notably, Johnny T-Shirt, another retailer of UNC clothing and merchandise, is also among the tenants in the same block of buildings.
The store’s hours are 10 a.m. through 7 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
