Dunn (pop. ~9,500) is the largest city in Harnett County and sits on I-95 / US-421 approximately 35 miles south of Raleigh — making it the first major I-95 Cook Out stop southbound from the Triangle.

Both locations are on the US-421 / Cumberland Street commercial corridor.

This location captures significant military commuter traffic — Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) is approximately 25 miles south via US-421, and a substantial share of Harnett County’s population consists of active-duty military families who commute north to Triangle employment.

What Neighborhoods Does Dunn’s Cook Out Network Cover?
Dunn’s two Cook Out locations serve the full Harnett County market — a fast-growing county of 135,000+ residents that sits at the crossroads of I-95, US-421, and the Fort Liberty commuter corridor.
N Cumberland St / I-95 Exit 72 and Fort Liberty commuter corridor: The N Cumberland St location serves I-95 through-traffic, Fort Liberty military commuters, and north Dunn. Harnett County has one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military families in NC after Cumberland County (Fayetteville), driven by Fort Liberty’s proximity. Late-night demand from soldiers returning from extended duty is significant.
Erwin Rd / South Dunn and Campbell University corridor: The Erwin Rd location serves south Dunn, the town of Erwin, and is the closest Cook Out to Campbell University in Buies Creek (5 mi south on US-421). Campbell’s 6,000+ students regularly drive to Dunn for late-night Cook Out runs — there is no Cook Out in Buies Creek or adjacent Lillington (Harnett County seat, 10 mi north).
Harnett County regional coverage: Harnett County (pop. ~135,000, growing rapidly) has no Cook Out outside Dunn. Communities served include Angier (10 mi northwest), Lillington (10 mi north), Erwin (3 mi south), Buies Creek (5 mi south), and Coats (8 mi northeast). The county’s growth as a Research Triangle exurb has significantly increased Cook Out demand since 2020.
Dunn sits at a unique geographic and cultural crossroads: it is simultaneously the first I-95 stop south of Raleigh, a Fort Liberty military community hub, and the economic anchor for fast-growing southern Harnett County. Campbell University — a private Baptist university with 6,000+ students in Buies Creek just 5 miles south — provides additional late-night demand that makes Dunn’s two Cook Out locations busier than the city’s modest population would suggest.
