Fun Places to Shop in Decatur
There are lots of reasons you might find yourself visiting the Decatur Square: date night at one of our many local restaurants, checking out some live music, or God forbid, jury duty. If you're in the area and looking for some fun local places to shop, then look no further. Here's a list of a few of the stores that Decatur's highly walkable square has to offer. (And they're all woman-owned businesses!)
HomeGrown
In the market for a unique gift? Sick of funding big corporations and want to put your money towards small local makers instead? Then ditch Target decor and swing by HomeGrown. Right next to the Decatur MARTA station, HomeGrown is a gift shop that showcases the work of local and regional artists. We offer free gift-wrapping year round (and have a great card selection)!
Squash Blossom
Around the block from HomeGrown you can find Squash Blossom, a boutique shop offering a curated selection of clothes, accessories and jewelry. Their selections are funky, stylish and eye-catching. The ambience in the store is another reason to stop by! If you want to support a black- owned local business, visit Squash Blossom; you won't regret it!
Little Shop of Stories
Little Shop of Stories is a local bookstore that focuses primarily but not exclusively on children's literature. They host a litany of fun events like book clubs, book signings, and craft nights! Browse their shelves for books, fun journaling supplies and unique toys. They recently added an in-store coffee shop, Bellwood Coffee, so you can grab a delicious drink while you enjoy flipping pages!
Olive Branch Wellness Boutique
If winter has left your skin as dry as mine, then do yourself a favor and visit Olive Branch Wellness Boutique. This black-owned business focuses on cruelty-free, all-natural skin care predominantly made in small batches in-house. They also offer face mask services and consultations to help point you toward the right products to address your skin care needs.
These are just a few of the fun stores that the Decatur square has to offer. Whether you're a local or just passing through, come check out the shops -- we promise to greet you with a smile!
