Kerr Lake Outfitters is the place to go to get hats, pullovers and other clothing items, many of which sport a Kerr Lake logo. Owner Mike Moore said he hopes folks remember to shop local this holiday season and to stop by and pay them a visit.
Moore has been a mainstay at the Marketplace with his other business, Postal Plus Business Center, for about 30 years.
He talked with John C. Rose Thursday as part of a newly launched business spotlight segment of The Local Skinny! show.
“We had some extra space beside us,” Moore said, and credits his wife with the idea for a gift shop to occupy the empty spot.
“We try to keep a local theme if we can,” he said. The business is part of the Got To Be NC and Goodness Grows programs with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and sells coffees from Wilmington, grits from Albemarle, Chapel Hill Toffee and baked items from Dewey’s Bakery in Winston-Salem, among other items.
The Kerr Lake branded items include hats, long-sleeved pullovers and other items that lakegoers need – stainless steel mugs, coolers and the like.
A couple of years ago, they had the idea to change the store’s inventory a bit, and the pandemic put a bit of a damper on those efforts. “This year, we’ve been able to revamp the store and bring in a lot more merchandise,” Moore said.
The hours are long and sometimes there’s a bit of juggling to get things done, but Moore said it’s worth it.
“We thoroughly enjoy being here and we enjoy our customers.”
