Chapel Hill Review

The University of North Carolina has collaborated with Dyehard by Follett to launch a new Tar Heel Team Store in Chapel Hill. This official store, located at 120 E. Franklin Street, aims to serve UNC alumni, students, fans, and supporters by offering an enhanced shopping experience.

The store features Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) retail and product programming, jersey and apparel customization, and a wide range of products from well-known brands such as Nike, Jordan Brand, Tommy Bahama, Johnnie-O, and Peter Millar. It also includes merchandise like hats, shoes, home and office supplies from local businesses.

"This exceptional team store has been carefully curated to bring Tar Heel fans the apparel and gear they need to let their school spirit shine," said Emmanuel Kolady, CEO of Follett Higher Education. "The in-person retail experience is a differentiator in the college space."

UNC fans can explore NIL merchandise including customized player jerseys and trading cards. The store also provides opportunities for student-athletes and coaches to engage with fans through meet-and-greets and autograph sessions.

Spanning 1,950 square feet, the store offers a modern interior complete with TVs and a digital sports ticker displaying scores and schedules.

"We are thrilled to have a partner in Dyehard by Follett that is committed to supporting the needs of Carolina fans not only on game day - but every day,'' stated Bubba Cunningham, Director of Athletics at UNC.

The Tar Heel Team Store operates weekdays from 10 am – 7 pm; Saturdays from 9 am – 6 pm; Sundays from 11 am – 5 pm.

Follett Higher Education supports over six million students through its numerous physical and eCommerce collegiate retail stores across North America.
