History
Carol Toodle opened Carol’s Variety Shop #1 on Wilson Street in downtown Plymouth, NC on March 1, 1994. The success of the first variety shop and the need for a local eatery encouraged Carol to open Carol’s Variety Shop #2 a short distance away on East Main Street. On February 8, 1998, Carol opened Carol’s Variety Shop #2. It is larger than Carol’s Variety Shop #1 and includes a grill that is open every day of the year except for one week in July.
