Doodles was founded by Phillip and Heather Kinlaw, a husband-and-wife duo with a deep love for their community and a passion for creating a space where everyone feels welcome. Nestled in the heart of Oak Island, Doodles is more than just a convenience store—it’s a reflection of the Kinlaws’ commitment to serving their neighbors with care, kindness, and a personal touch. The story of Doodles began with a simple idea: to provide a convenient, reliable place for locals and visitors alike to find what they need, all while supporting the spirit of Oak Island. Over the years, Phillip and Heather have built Doodles into a trusted community hub, offering everything from everyday essentials to handcrafted goods by local artisans. Beyond the products on the shelves, what truly sets Doodles apart is the Kinlaws’ dedication to giving back. Whether it’s hosting local events, supporting charitable causes, or simply greeting every customer with a smile, Phillip and Heather have made it their mission to make everyone feel at home. For the Kinlaws, Doodles is more than a business—it’s a labor of love. It’s about strengthening the ties that bind our community together and celebrating the people and places that make Oak Island so special. Every day, Phillip and Heather work to ensure that Doodles remains a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and connections are cherished. Welcome to Doodles—where community comes first.
