🐾 Shop Spotlight: Vinterest in Hixson, the Original Vinterest
Vinterest in Hixson is where the story began. It is the original location, opened in 2015, and today it is the company's home base at 2105 Northpoint Blvd. With the Southside store closing at the end of 2026, Hixson is now the place to find Vinterest.
What to expect
Like its sister store, this is a vendor market, with booths from local makers and sellers. When it opened, owner Katherine Schurer grew it to more than 100 vendors, according to the Times Free Press. Expect vintage clothing, handmade goods, home decor, furniture and gifts, and expect the inventory to turn over often.
Pets welcome
Reviewers frequently mention that Vinterest Hixson is pet-friendly, which makes it a good stop if your dog rides along on thrift days. Always leash your pet and keep an eye on booths with fragile items.
Make a Hixson loop
Hixson has several shops close together, including Goodwill and Bethel Thrift Store, which supports a children's home. Read the full Hixson neighborhood guide or open the Hixson shop list.
Support a local small business
Every booth is a small business. Buying here supports the shop and the vendors who stock it. See why that matters in our post on why curated shops are small businesses.
Before you go
Plan a leisurely visit. A vendor market is meant to be explored, and the best finds are often tucked in the corners. Bring a tote bag and a little cash for small purchases if the shop accepts it, although cards are generally taken.
