Stellar Partners, Inc. (Stellar) recently opened its first retail concept, True to Tennessee / Earth Spirit, in Nashville International Airport with its partners Jamie D. Isabel, Sr. and Karen Anderson of Dalmatian Creative Agency, Inc. and Sandra Long of SLA Worldwide, LLC., continuing its development of original shopping experiences for travelers. True to Tennessee / Earth Spirit is a unique dual-branded store located near Gate C10 that celebrates the work of artisans, craftspeople, and talented makers from Tennessee and beyond.
“We could not be more excited with the opening of True to Tennessee / Earth Spirit store,” said Stellar Vice President of Business Development Yasmin Sheriff. “This one-of-a-kind store offers BNA passengers exceptional and elevated shopping that is typically not found in travel retail. We look forward to bringing other exciting brands to BNA travelers over the course of 2020 as we work with our joint venture partners, Fraport, and the Airport to change the travel retail experience for the millions of passengers who fly through BNA annually.”
True to Tennessee offers an excellent variety of local and regional made-in-Tennessee merchandise including delectable chocolates and sweet confections, savory spices and rubs, souvenirs and gift apparel, and vintage-style illustrations and prints.
Earth Spirit is a celebration of makers from across the U.S. with a merchandise assortment ranging from authentic Native American jewelry to home décor and handbags; travel accessories, and eclectic artisan pottery.
Stellar plans to open additional stores at Nashville International Airport later this year. Stores including Patricia Nash and District News will bring style and travel convenience into the airport this summer, while West End News and James Avery Artisan Jewelry are both scheduled to open before fall.
