Founded in 2014 and based in Raleigh, NC, Mister Pompadour crafts premium grooming products with quality ingredients for the modern man.

After cultivating a community in 100+ countries for 5+ years, it was time to open a flagship barber lounge and focus our attention on the city that serves as our foundation.

By bridging the gap between upscale salons and run of the mill barbershops, our goal is to raise Raleigh's grooming standards with quality cuts, shaves & cocktails - delivered daily.

The Loading Dock is a shared workspace that welcomes creatives, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and remote professionals alike. We believe that where you plant your laptop and who churns beside you are both key factors to your quality of work and work-life. Success can be a shared experience, and we designed the Loading Dock around that ideal. Amazing Raleigh companies like Activate Good, Chair 8, Good Dirt, Jubala Coffee, Mister Pompadour, Murphy’s Naturals and many more call this creative space home. Take a tour of the space and find out what we’re all about.

Murphy's Naturals Murphy's Naturals offers potent natural insect repellents that neither sting, burn, nor contain toxins, and we manufacture them right here at Dock 1053. From incense and candles to sprays and balms, our unique formulas reach beyond the familiar citronella to include lesser known repellants like lemongrass, rosemary, and CDC-approved lemon eucalyptus.

We’re also proud to be one of the founding members of the Loading Dock here at 1053. We opened it in 2016 after we found ourselves in need of large warehouse space to meet our growing demand. And as a Certified B Corp, re-investing in our local community was an easy decision.

And with Murphy’s, no matter the season, you can Enjoy Life Outdoors!™
