“We are thrilled to bring the authentic Palmetto Moon shopping experience to this vibrant college town and welcome the local community during our Grand Opening Celebration,” said Palmetto Moon Chief Brand Officer Amber Dube.
Palmetto Moon is known for its “customer first” service and hand-picked showcase of brands. Unlike mass merchants, Palmetto Moon’s philosophy is to merchandise unique gifts that local customers of all ages will delight in.
The new Opelika store will offer popular brands including YETI, Simply Southern, Hey Dude, Southern Marsh, Chubbies and Local Boy Outfitters, as well as local and up-and-coming brands, Palmetto Moon’s exclusive products, and custom Auburn University collegiate gear designed specifically for the local community.
“Auburn-Opelika’s friendly, small-town feel and rich Southern heritage embrace everything Palmetto Moon represents,” Dube said. “And with our convenient location just ten minutes from the university, we are excited to become a destination for unique gifts, game day gear and apparel tailored for Tigers fans and students.”
With an open floor plan spanning over 7,500 square feet, customers can easily shop dedicated departments — Women’s, Men’s, Children’s, Home and Gift, Footwear and Collegiate as well as feature displays for trending brands and emerging products. The store design is bright and airy with an abundance of natural light and features stylized fitting rooms reminiscent of a cozy Southern front porch.
“It’s a privilege to celebrate this latest milestone with the opening of our Auburn location,” said Palmetto Moon Chief Executive Officer John Thomas. “As Palmetto Moon continues to grow and expand its presence in new cities across the Southeast, we are committed to preserving the brand’s authentic reflection of Southern lifestyle with our selection of locally inspired products, in an elevated shopping experience that resonates with all generations. Palmetto Moon is very excited to offer another location in Alabama.”
