WHERE TO SHOP LOCAL IN DOWNTOWN RALEIGH (TO SUPPORT SMALL RETAILERS)

If you like the idea of shopping local in downtown Raleigh and supporting small retailers, and have been searching on your phone for local shops near me, we’ve got some great suggestions down below!

Downtown is the perfect place to go shopping in Raleigh. In fact, it’s our favorite of the seven areas that make up the municipality of Raleigh, and just like we support the local Raleigh restaurants, we also like to support local retailers as much as possible!

Curate

Curate is all about shop local Raleigh. They showcase over 60 local artists in their cute and cozy downtown Raleigh storefront with a nice collection of handmade goods.

ZEN Succulent

The ZEN Succulent originated in Durham and is a modern terrarium and plant craft business full of unique greenery and handcrafted gifts from emerging makers.

Nashona

Looking for unique and elegant clothing and accessories? At Nashona, their products are handcrafted with vibrant African fabrics from Tanzania.

Young Hearts Distilling is not only downtown Raleigh’s First Distillery & Restaurant, created by the folks behind Trophy Brewing, but you can pop in like we did and buy a bottle of their house-made spirits – Caroline is a fan of Agave!

Pop-Up Shops On Martin St
