Stellar Partners has opened dual-branded store, True to Tennessee/Earth Spirit, at Nashville International Airport with Creative Agency, Inc. and SLA Worldwide, LLC.

Located near Gate C10 the new concept ‘celebrates the work of artisans, craftspeople, and talented makers from Tennessee and beyond’, said Stellar Partners.

“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.

IN THE PIPELINE FOR 2020

“We look forward to bringing other exciting brands to BNA travellers over the course of 2020 as we work with our joint venture partners, Fraport, and Nashville Airport to change the travel retail experience for the millions of passengers who fly through BNA annually.”

The new dual-branded store is just one of numerous new additions to the airport’s retail offer to open in 2020.

True to Tennessee offers a variety of local and regional ‘made-in-Tennessee’ merchandise including confectionery, savoury spices and rubs, souvenirs and gift apparel along with ‘vintage-style’ illustrations and prints.

Earth Spirit is described as a ‘celebration of makers from across the US with a merchandise assortment ranging from authentic Native American jewellery to home décor and handbags; travel accessories, and eclectic artisan pottery.

Stellar plans to open additional stores at Nashville International Airport later this year, including Patricia Nash, District News, West End News and James Avery Artisan Jewelry.
