Callahan’s of Calabash History

While the town of Calabash, North Carolina is often associated with luscious fried seafood, this little fishing village, located just north of the state line, is also home to a gift shop with a reputation of its own. Callahan’s of Calabash has occupied the same prominent corner since 1978 and draws shoppers from far and wide. One visit and you’ll see why!

 

The term “shop” is actually way too small to describe the sprawling over 35,000-square-foot establishment of Callahan’s of Calabash. Occupying the major part of a block, it features aisle after aisle of gifts and souvenirs, confections, collectibles and an amazing selection of Christmas ornaments and decorations.

Callahan’s of Calabash is a 35,000+ square foot gift shop that sells Christmas decorations, jewelry, apparel, nautical gifts, homemade fudge and so much more. Callahan’s is located on the border of North and South Carolina in heart of Calabash, NC. St. Nick Nacks is its Christmas shop that sells everything from trees to decorations from popular brand names such as Department 56, Jim Shore, Mark Roberts and Christopher Radko. Callahan’s also offers The Lifestyle Co. that sells Spartina bags as well as QUAY Australia, Barefoot Dreams and Maui Jim. Callahan's is located directly next to The Boundary House, down the street from The Oyster Rock, and up 17 from Clark’s and Sea Island Trading Co.
