Two Raleigh companies have teamed up to offer Triangle shoppers more access to a unique product. Kerr Drug has started carrying designer duct tape in select stores.
The tape is made by Raleigh's Fortis Design, the company behind a number of popular gift items including Magwear. (Magwear is a velcro wristband topped with a magnetic plate for holding screws, nail, sewing needles s or other metal items.)
Kerr is selling seven different designs (Argyle, Paisley, Hound’s-tooth, Leopard, Polka Dot, Woodgrain, and Diamond Plate) for $5.99 a roll. In the Triangle it is available at the following Kerr Drug stores: East 54 in Chapel Hill; North Ridge, Towne North, Buck Jones ‘Road, Harvest Plaza and North Hills, and Mission Valley in Raleigh; and Wellons Village, North Duke Mall and Loehman’s Plaza in Durham. Also available in Franklinton, Pittsboro, Fuquay-Varina, Zebulon and Sanford locations.
