Why Old Hickory Social is More Than Just Shopping: A Community Experience

Building a strong community goes beyond offering a place to shop or unwind; it’s about forming genuine connections. Studies show that people who are actively involved in their communities are significantly more likely to feel happier and healthier. Communities provide us with more than just a place to gather—they offer a sense of belonging, support, and shared experiences that enhance our quality of life. By being part of something larger, we improve both our mental and physical health, reduce stress, and find deeper meaning in our daily interactions.

At Old Hickory Social, we understand the importance of these connections. We aim to be more than just a marketplace—we're a gathering place where friendships grow, and people come together to celebrate and enjoy all that their local community has to offer. Whether you’re shopping, attending an event, or just stopping by, we want everyone to feel welcome and part of something special.

Our blend of small-town charm and boutique flair sets the perfect atmosphere for a unique community experience. With a rotating selection of products from local vendors, there’s always something fresh and exciting for visitors to explore. Whether you’re a dedicated shopper or someone looking for a comfortable place to hang out, Old Hickory Social offers a welcoming space for all.

Host or Attend an Event

We’re proud to be a gathering place for all kinds of events. Looking for somewhere to host a celebration? Or maybe you want to join in on one of our unique events? From fun, themed events like our May the Bark Be With You Dog Pawty, or our Old Hickory Social Birthday Bash, to casual socials for Mother’s and Father’s Day, our calendar is packed with activities for everyone in the community to enjoy.

Discover Something New

For those who crave more than shopping and socializing, we offer a variety of hands-on classes. These workshops are designed to bring people together while exploring new skills and hobbies. Whether you’re trying chair yoga or watercolor painting for the first time, we guarantee you’ll leave with a smile and a sense of accomplishment.

A Place to Connect

Old Hickory Social is truly a “third place”—a space outside of work and home where people can gather and build connections. Whether you’re socializing, attending a class, or simply stopping by to check out what’s new, we offer a welcoming environment where everyone can feel at home. Vendors and visitors alike are part of this shared community.
