Starting Monday, July 15, your favorite downtown small businesses will be hosting sales, giveaways, special events, and more thanks to DTR Retail Week.

In honor of this upcoming week, we wanted to shout out a few of our favorite independent vendors downtown.

Copperline Plant Company, 23 W. Hargett St. | City Editor Allie here — I can never leave this plant store empty handed. Besides high-quality houseplants, I love shopping this store’s assortment of pots + plant accessories.

The Green Monkey, 215 S. Wilmington St. | Recently relocated to the heart of downtown, owners Rusty + Drew have created a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community with a fun bar + retail options.

The Self Care Marketplace, 12 W. Martin St. | Find all sorts of items dedicated to healing yourself at this store. Plus, keep an eye out for soothing events + classes.

Shop these local spots and plenty more July 15-21 and keep our downtown retail scene thriving every week of the year.
