Adam & Eve Stores

Best Adult Novelty Store.
Overview
The history of Adam & Eve is nothing short of amazing. Our birth goes back four decades, when a Harvard graduate and Peace Corps veteran name Phil Harvey, along with partner Dr. Timothy Black.

Phil combined his natural business savvy with expertise gained from earning a Master's degree in Public Health Administration from the University of North Carolina. Encouraged by the public's positive response, Phil explored ways to provide American adults with carefully selected material by mail. Thus, the birth of our parent company, Adam & Eve.
