HOLLYHOCKHOUSE

used to my kind of shopping experience. But here, I think people appreciate it. The shop did OK. But when my dad was diagnosed with cancer, I took that as a sign to move back home.”

She considered both Murray and Mayfield for Hollyhock House. But when she remembered shopping local as a child, her thoughts continually turned to Paducah. “I always loved downtown,” she says. “There’s a great scene here. There was a lot I didn’t know—things I really appreciated when I took the time to learn a little bit more about the city and its history. The sense of community and support I felt here outweighed any other area.”

Holly met the developer of the 100 block of Broadway and discovered the location was a perfect match. “The vision was the same as mine—creating a place where people come for an experience. And all of us along this block see that vision and want to be a part of what’s here and what is coming.”

The shopping experience Holly offers caters to what she says many women in our area want. “They want unique. They want something different. They want quality. Plus they want that coziness and charm with a local shop. And yes, people are still going to department stores and utilizing online shopping for some things. There’s a place for that. But even online retailers are opening brick and mortar stores. That’s because people still want to get out and do things. And shopping is a part of that.”

Holly sees Hollyhock House as an ever-evolving dynamic. And she sees potential in other areas such as men’s clothing. She’s already put some in-tow husbands at ease with samples of bourbon at Hollyhock. “As time goes on and we dig more into the buildings down here, I hope there is an opportunity to expand or do something different. I always need adventure
