After expanding our original retail concept, Edge of Urge, to a second location in Raleigh in 2015, we quickly realized the opportunity to expand our offerings even further. The response to our limited Men's offerings in the Raleigh Edge of Urge store was overwhelming. We continually received requests for more from this collection.

With our incredible customers on our side, we moved our Men's offerings into a former bike repair shop in the basement of the building across the street from Edge of Urge. This shop blossomed into the latest concept from the Edge of Urge family -- Unlikely Professionals. We took this opportunity to lean into our background in craftsmanship, making a space that felt truly unique and offered unexpected products.

Thanks to our loyal fan base we were able to weather the uncertain times of the Covid-19 pandemic and continue doing what we love. In November of 2024, we celebrated 5 years of Unlikely Professionals. Since opening our doors we've cheersed with neighbors at our bar, hosted workshops and events for the community to gather, introduced our little slice of the world to some killer brands, and so much more.
