🏺 Shop Spotlight: Edith's Emporium on McCallie Ave
Some Chattanooga thrift and vintage shops are best known for their racks. Edith's Emporium, at 1914 McCallie Ave, is known for its variety. Reviewers describe an eclectic mix of gifts, home decor and locally made goods, and the shop earns near-perfect ratings for it.
What you will find
Think of it as a curated shop where vintage, handmade and local all share the same shelves. It is a good place to find a hostess gift, a conversation-starting piece of decor or something small for yourself. If you like a store where you do not have to dig, this is a good one.
Why it pairs well with a McCallie Ave loop
McCallie Avenue is home to a few of the Trail's best shops. The Refindery on McCallie, at 1300 McCallie Ave, is a cavernous antique mall that reviewers call a fun treasure hunt. Put the two together and you have a morning that covers both curated and wander-for-an-hour shopping. See the full Highland Park shop list.
