Marlana Walters is the Owner of Everyday Gourmet in Jackson. The Everyday Gourmet is Mississippi’s largest independent gourmet retailer featuring the finest in Mississippi made products, gift baskets, gourmet foods, cookware and tableware. And now The Everyday Gourmet is moving away from its current location into the former O'Charley's Restaurant building on County Line Road in Jackson. Walters hoped for the new store to be open by Oct. 1, which would be in time to make the most of the holiday shopping season. New flooring, additional lighting and other interior improvements such as painting are planned, Walters has said.
