We’re back with our monthly small business feature, with a fresh selection of businesses submitted by our readers in April.
Hattie Jane’s Creamery
The small-batch ice cream shop is known for seasonal flavors, such as lavender and wildflower honey, alongside its lineup of classic scoops and dairy-free/gluten-free options.
Baxter Bailey & Company
This East Nashville pet shop stocks gourmet treats, toys, and pet essentials. Take your pup on a shopping spree, and there’s a solid chance they’ll be featured on the store’s Instagram page.
The Good Fill
The refill business focuses on low-waste living and offers bulk home and body products that help cut down on single-use plastics.
Electric Mixer
Colorful party supplies, paper goods, and gifts fill the shelves. Plus, it’s located next door to Baked on 8th if you’re in the mood for something sweet.
