The ol’ five and dime, the neighborhood general store, the corner market. No matter the term used, the feeling is the same: nostalgia. A general store dredges up thoughts of neighborhood visits and the kindly staff, the quirky, fun and useful items that line the shelves. In Nashville, Hey Rooster General Store has reinvigorated the nostalgic element of a five and dime and has given it a contemporary spin, perfect for young and old alike.
Hey Rooster General Store relocated from its original home in East Nashville in 2017, and now makes its home in Hillsboro Village. The storefront was once inhabited by Book Man, Book Woman before its closure.
Touted as Nashville's "first modern general store", Hey Rooster has been a local fixture in the city since its establishment in 2013. The bright, airy space not only makes for a beautiful atmosphere, but it lends to a great shopping experience.
