In October of 2023 Adriana purchased Barr-ee Station from the incomparable Maggie Cox. Prior to buying the shop Adriana spent more than three years working as the social media marketing lead for Barr-ee Station and an in store associate. She lives with her husband and two children in Duck and they can usually be seen running around The Waterfront Shops on a nice day. :) Adriana is working to build on Barr-ee Station's legacy as the Outer Banks' premier year-round, shopping destination.
