OUR STORY

All are welcome at our emporium of fun and funk: drop by, kick back, shop, share story, and say hello! Long ago and far away Tripp’s Store was a community gathering place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. What was once a country gas station is now a reimagined EMPORIUM: vintage showroom, folk art gallery, and a local community center that celebrates diversity, art, books, music, education, and storytelling. 

Founded for art and community outreach in the fall of 2019 by Emmy Award Winning Television & Film Casting Director and Chapel Hill North Carolina native Tracy Kilpatrick. Tripp’s Store strives to support our local arts, education and remain an inclusive safe space for all gender identities, racial identities, and ages to gather and create community! Tripp's Store hosts monthly free Art Club nights, workshops in acting and writing, special events, music jams, two Little Free Libraries, a Little Free Art Gallery, free food pantry, and showroom of our vintage collection of clothing visual art, books, vinyl records, furniture, collectibles, accessories, and more!
