Small Business Spotlight: Sugar & Honey Boutique

Located at Silo Square in Southaven, Mississippi, Sugar & Honey Boutique opened in October 2021. After the passing of her father the year prior, owner Allie Crick was reminded of life’s fragility and was more inspired than ever to follow her dreams. She wanted to be an example for her son and show him that there is more to life than just checking off all the boxes. One quote that stood out to her during her planning phase states, “If you don’t have big dreams and goals, you will end up working for someone who does.” It catapulted Allie into making her small business owner dreams a reality, and thus, the children’s boutique offering tons of adorable outfits and accessories for your little ladies and gents came to be. 

Seven months after opening, Allie is having a wonderful time helping kids find outfits that make them feel special. Memories are made every day in the store, and to her, that is what it’s all about.
