Step back in time with this rare opportunity to own the iconic Wendell Barbershop, a cornerstone of the community for over 120 years. Located in the heart of downtown Wendell, one of the fastest-growing towns in Wake County, this charming building blends nostalgic character with modern upgrades.
The storefront features the classic barber pole mounted on the exterior, evoking the charm of a bygone era. Inside, the front portion of the shop is finished with a drop ceiling and active tenant operations, while the back half offers unfinished space showcasing a beautiful original pressed tin ceiling, a unique architectural detail perfect for restoration or repurposing.

Downtown Wendell is currently undergoing a major revitalization effort, including updated landscaping and expanded pedestrian-friendly space in front of commercial storefronts, making this an ideal time to invest.
Whether you're looking for a turnkey investment, a piece of local history, or a space to launch your own business, this property offers endless potential in a thriving community.
