Description

Anchored by Food Lion, Marshalls, CVS Pharmacy, Five Below, and a collection of service, dining, medical, and specialty retailers, the Marketplace functions as a deeply established commercial hub in a remarkably high-barrier-to-entry market. With the nearest competing northern grocer located more than sixteen miles away, tenants benefit from commanding consumer capture and strong brand visibility. The center’s position within one of the most economically resilient and vacation-driven communities in the Southeast further elevates its value, supported by household incomes exceeding $150,000 within a three-mile radius.
Retailers at this center enjoy consistent exposure to both local residents and a substantial influx of seasonal travelers, making it an ideal environment for operators seeking dependable traffic and a compelling coastal trade area. Immediate access, strong signage opportunities, and proximity to the area’s primary entry corridor create a uniquely strategic location that is difficult to replicate anywhere else on the Outer Banks.
This availability within the Marketplace at Southern Shores offers the rare chance to locate within an established, high-performing regional shopping node that continues to serve as the center of retail gravity for the northern Outer Banks.
