About Us:

Shops, Services & Restaurants

Go on an adventure as you follow the winding brick corridors of the celebrated Cotton Exchange. You’ll journey through charming courtyards, adorned in antiques and beautiful landscapes. Located in historic downtown Wilmington, just minutes from the Battleship North Carolina and walking distance from downtown hotels, it’s a shopping experience like no other.

With storefronts reminiscent of a 19th century Southern city street, you’ll discover the best in dining, apparel, jewelry, home goods, fine arts, handcrafted items, toys, souvenirs and more! You’re sure to find a treasure at any one of our 20+ locally owned shops and boutiques. After some retail therapy, you’re only steps away from a relaxing stroll on the Riverwalk.
