Main Street Elizabethton and the Elizabethton/Carter County Chamber of Commerce celebrated a ribbon cutting today for Peddler’s Emporium, located at 300 East Elk Avenue in historic Downtown Elizabethton.

Now under the ownership of Hailey Bailey, Peddler’s Emporium is a destination for shoppers looking for unique finds, vintage treasures, antiques, home décor, and one-of-a-kind pieces from local vendors. Since becoming owner in early 2026, Hailey has already made several upgrades and improvements to the business while continuing to create a welcoming shopping experience for customers.

With more than 20 vendors currently featured inside the shop, Peddler’s Emporium offers shoppers a wide variety of items, each with its own story and charm. Under Hailey’s leadership, the business is focused on continued growth by expanding its vendor offerings and reaching even more customers throughout the region.

“It’s an honor to be the new owner of the Peddler’s Emporium and to help showcase each piece having its own story,” said owner Hailey Bailey. “Working with our amazing vendors and customers to help pieces find their new stories is so exciting. We love being a part of the downtown community and can’t wait to grow with our community.”

“We are excited to celebrate Hailey as a new business owner and continue supporting a business that serves as an important entrance into our downtown district,” said Courtney Bean, Main Street Director. “Peddler’s Emporium brings energy, creativity, and a welcoming atmosphere to this area of downtown, and we look forward to seeing the business continue to grow.”

Main Street Elizabethton and the Chamber congratulate Hailey Bailey and the entire Peddler’s Emporium team on this exciting new chapter and look forward to seeing the business continue to thrive.
