Unlikely Professionals – North Hills

About

Unlikely Professionals on St. Albans Drive is part shop and part bar, selling menswear and general goods while pouring wine and beer. The idea from the start was a menswear store crossed with a general store crossed with your favorite neighborhood bar.

This North Hills Innovation District location is the second one the company has opened. The mix means you can browse a rack, buy a gift and stay for a drink without changing buildings, and a loyal group of regulars carried the business through the pandemic years.

What to know

  • The first store opened in 2019 in the basement of a former bike repair shop.
  • That building sits across the street from sister store Edge of Urge.
  • Edge of Urge had expanded to Raleigh in 2015, and this concept grew out of it.
  • The company marked five years in business in November 2024.
  • Online orders over $150 ship free by standard shipping.
