Welcome to The Unusual Shoppe
A remarkable place in Tarboro, NC

We are doing MAJOR changes to the shop format and are temporarily closed for business. When we reopen, you are all in for a BIG surprise!

Something new, exciting and wonderfully unusual is going on in downtown Tarboro, North Carolina.

A once empty and neglected building on Main Street is now home to The Unusual Shoppe which started as an eclectic assortment of ever-changing cool collectibles and fabulous finds, but is becoming the community hub for Tarboro and surrounding areas with a great place for LIVE music.

We have started renovations and are currently using a portion of the first floor on the south side of the building. You can find our entrance just off Main Street, at 108 E. Pitt Street, (near the Court House & the Town Square).

We know we're dreamers, but we plan restoration and shopspace expansion that will include the entire first floor of the building. We think Tarboro is a GREAT town; a great place to live and a great place to visit. We've set our sights on creating at 305 N. Main Street a fabulous day-trip destination with regularly scheduled entertainment and events for the whole family.

We welcome and encourage community involvement to turn this dream into a BIG reality for everyone involved.

BANDS! MUSICIANS! Wanna Play?
We've got a 12' x 16' stage, a good sound system, tables & chairs for folks to sit at, a snack bar, a space for dancing (or more chairs) and a lounge space for comfortable conversation.
What we want is LIVE MUSIC....
Here's the deal: You play the music... you help promote the events & bring your audience ... We provide the space plus amenities .... Any cover charge (you determine) is split 50/50. If you want to put on a free show...that's do-able, too. It's not about the money...it's about the MUSIC.
