What Neighborhoods Does Laurinburg’s Cook Out Network Cover?
Laurinburg’s two Cook Out locations serve all of Scotland County and the surrounding rural communities on the US-74 corridor — a uniquely rural and underserved late-night market.
Atkinson St East / St. Andrews University corridor: The 1705 Atkinson St location serves east Laurinburg, the US-74 eastern approach from Lumberton, and St. Andrews University students. SAU’s 700+ students on the residential campus make late-night Cook Out runs a regular campus tradition — particularly after evening athletic events and weekend social activities.
Atkinson St West / Scotland Health Care System corridor: The 1011 Atkinson St location serves central Laurinburg, the Scotland Health Care System hospital campus, and westbound US-74 travelers. Hospital staff on night and evening shifts are a consistent customer base. Also serves the county government complex on Covington Rd.
Scotland County and surrounding rural communities: Scotland County (pop. ~35,000) is entirely served by these two Laurinburg locations. Communities without their own Cook Out: Maxton (10 mi east), Gibson (12 mi north), Wagram (10 mi north), Laurel Hill (12 mi south), and Hamlet (15 mi west in Richmond County). The two Laurinburg Cook Out locations are often the only option for a 20-mile radius.
Laurinburg is named for Laurin, Scotland — reflecting the strong Scottish immigrant heritage of the Carolina Sandhills region. Scotland County has one of the highest proportions of Lumbee Tribe members outside of Robeson County, and the Cook Out customer base here reflects the full diversity of the Lumber River cultural corridor. The US-74 corridor through Laurinburg is part of the old “Tobacco Road” network that once connected every county seat in the NC Sandhills and Coastal Plain.
