Popular Southern-lifestyle store opening first MS location on Coast. Here’s what we know
Just in time for spring and summer fashions and entertainment, Palmetto Moon, a Southern lifestyle retailer, will open its first store in Mississippi at Gulfport Premium Outlets.
Mississippi is the eighth state for the brand that was founded Charleston, South Carolina, as a small kiosk. Gulfport will be the company’s 47th store across the Southeast.
The grand opening on Saturday, May 3, will feature giveaways and special promotions at the shop, next to Nike and close to J.Crew and other popular stores.
“Expanding into Mississippi is a big moment for Palmetto Moon, and we couldn’t think of a better place to start than Gulfport,” said John Thomas, CEO of Palmetto Moon. “Mississippi has such a strong sense of community and a deep appreciation for Southern culture.”
Shoppers will find apparel, gifts, collegiate gear and home décor among the Southern specialties at Palmetto Moon. The stores are known for their Southern shopping experience and hospitality.
Among the top brands will be YETI, Simply Southern, Local Boy, Stanley, Free People Movement, Southern Marsh, Rainbow, Old Row, Reef and Chubbies.
Customers also will find Mississippi-based brands like Drake, Dash Forward and Alex Carol, along with collegiate gear from Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
The company is hiring for the new Gulfport store.
