Along the meandering Duck Road that runs through the village of Duck, NC, you’ll find the Scarborough Lane Shoppes, a collection of cool clothing boutiques and restaurants, shops that help you make your house a home, fun food stores, a place to relax, to taste and buy wine and craft beer, art to express your taste in living and jewelry to express yourself.

Outer Banks shopping aficionados know that Scarborough Lane Shoppes puts them in Duck NC Shopping Central where they can find…well, practically anything they want. Browsing from store to store is comfortable under the covered porches that connect the shops, no matter what the weather. So, when the sun’s too hot or the rain is pouring (the best Outer Banks shopping days, by the way!), Scarborough Lane Shoppes is the place. And, when it’s time to take a pause, or if you’re simply starving, two of Duck NC’s most-liked restaurants are right here.

A Little Bit About Scarborough Lane Shoppes

Scarborough Lane Shoppes entered the Duck, NC shopping scene in the summer of 1995. Duck was already becoming known as the Rodeo Drive, so to speak, of Outer Banks shopping experiences by then, and we think our design, built around a garden in a grove of shady trees, was – and still is — the pinnacle. Our building was designed to resemble an old life-saving station because we value the history and heritage that make the Outer Banks of North Carolina such a special place and wanted to blend into that style. But that’s where the blending ended! From the beginning, we hand-picked our shops to entice and excite you.

Duck Shopping & Dining Center

We’ve watched the village of Duck grow exponentially almost every year since the ‘90s, but we’ve managed to keep a quaint village atmosphere. Scarborough Lane Shoppes are still a must-do destination for people who know Duck shopping well, and we love welcoming back visitors and locals year after year who at this point feel like old friends.

We invite you to join our legion of loyal shoppers!

Belinda Pleva grew up serving ice cream out of her parent’s shop. She loved being part of what she calls “a happy business.” “I love it when people come into the shop and you hand them something, and it makes them smile,” Pleva says. “That moment when you hand an ice cream cone over to a little kid and their eyes just light up. That’s what I love about the ice cream business.”

 

In 1994, Pleva opened up her own ice cream and chocolate shop, Big Buck’s Ice Cream, in the brand-new Timbuk II Shopping Center in Corolla. Business was good, but something was missing.

 

“I was never satisfied with the ingredients in the ice creams and chocolates you could purchase back then. I wanted to serve my customers delicious flavors with ingredients they could actually pronounce,” Pleva says.

 

Pleva took a trip to Italy to study the gelaterias. She fell in love with the incredible flavors, and when she returned home to the Outer Banks, she began working tirelessly to perfect the flavors in her own ice cream.

 

Big Buck’s homemade ice cream combined the flavors of the Italian gelaterias and the richness of American ice cream. It quickly became a tourist favorite. After having the same unsatisfactory experience with the readymade chocolates she was selling, she also took a trip to Brussels to learn more about making handmade chocolates. Pleva brought the chocolate-making experience right back with her, and the result was the finest quality of chocolates on the Outer Banks.

 

After her huge success in the Corolla shop, Pleva was able to open up three more shops—one in Kitty Hawk, one in Manteo and one in Duck.
