Sun Bern NC & Le Petit Bisou
Sun Bern NC is a recently opened business located at 1301 Country Club Rd next to Banx Watersports, offering Sun Bern NC branded apparel and accessories for life on the river. “I debuted the business at The Great Trent River Raft Race in 2023 and continued to set-up shop at various pop-up markets throughout the year,” says owner Page Litfin. “By November of 2023, I knew I was ready to grow into a physical location. Everything from this point on seemed to come together serendipitously. The 1301 Country Club Rd storefront had always charmed me, even in its neglected state. When I first walked in, I saw all of the potential and its location on the river made it even more appealing. I pitched the concept to my friend Erin Vann, with whom I’d taught preschool at First Presbyterian. She had a background in retail and sprung into action to launch her children’s boutique ‘Le Petit Bisou.’ The space was already designated for two retail spaces and our target customers were similar enough that it all just made sense.”
