📣 Big Announcement 📣
Our family has always had a deep rooted connection to the Upper Cumberland, especially to the town of Monterey, Tn. That connection deepened even more when our oldest sister, Charlotte Qualls McCowan invited us to join her in a small business opportunity with Hello Market Blessings.
As a lifelong resident, educator, business owner and relentless community advocate, Charlotte had the purest and most profound love for and devotion to this community. And boy, did this community love her! Getting to see the love and appreciation this community had for her each day at Hello Market Blessings through our vendors, our family of customers and folks in general around town as we were working in the market and out and about at community events and gatherings was one of our greatest blessings as her sisters.
When we lost Charlotte unexpectedly in the Fall of 2022, our hearts were shattered. You see, growing up our oldest sibling and the oldest sister, Charlotte was always the leader. And she was our hero in so many ways. Charlotte would continue to love and nurture us and our other two siblings in her sweet but firm way throughout the end of her short life. We would go on to see that we weren’t the only ones who received her never ending encouragement, love and genuine care she had in her heart. As her sisters, it’s our most sincere hope to continue to share in Charlotte’s lifelong dream of serving this community that she loved so dearly. We can’t think of a better way to honor her than to do so with her beautiful name.
We are thrilled to announce “The Charlotte” coming this Spring in the historic Goff Drugstore Building located in Downtown Monterey at 101 Commercial Avenue in Downtown Monterey, Tn. The Charlotte will be a comparable shopping experience to Hello Market Blessings, but with so, so, so much more at an incredible and historic new location!
Please keep your eyes peeled for upcoming news and updates (we’ll be changing this page’s name to The Charlotte) as we get closer to our grand opening date early this Spring. We can’t wait to share The Charlotte with you soon!
With love,
Janet Wilson & Sharon Qualls York
