Donelson
Pike,
you will
find
three
businesses
working
cooperatively
to
create a
one-of-a-kind
experience
in the
city of
Nashville.
To be
honest,
most
people
pass the
building
and have
no idea
what
waits
inside
for them
--- to
quote
one
customer:
"I saw
the sign
and just
thought
a yoga
instructor
was
selling
a few
teas and
candles.
This
place is
amazing."
It's
true:
Nashville
residents
don't
realize
that
there is
an
entire,
separate
retail
store
inside
the yoga
building
(store
entrance,
side
door
-- yoga
studio,
front
door).
While
yoga
classes
takes
place at
their
scheduled
times,
the full
retail
store is
open six
days a
week,
opening
at 10:00
a.m.
every
morning.
What
happened
was a
perfect
example
of
serendipity.
Jan
Thrasher,
owner
and
director
of the
yoga
studio
was
offering
the side
retail
store
for
rent.
Bonnie
Taylor,
owner of
Tea for
Two and
More was
a former
neighbor
of
Jan's.
When
they
bumped
into
each
other
one day,
Jan
learned
of
Bonnie's
new tea
business
and told
her
about
the
store.
Bonnie,
knowing
the
full-time
schedule
of a
retail
store
would be
a major
undertaking,
turned
to Greg
and Roy,
owners
of Green
Pergola
Aromatherapy.
The two
companies
rented
the
space as
retail
"room-mates",
sharing
everything
from
work
shifts
to shelf
space.
They
gave the
store a
total
redesign,
carefully
matching
its
style to
the yoga
studio
and the
rest of
the
building.
Soon, it
became
obvious
that
more
than a
business
deal was
happening.
Friendships
formed
among
everyone
in the
building
-- what
started
as a
rental
transaction,
became
a
cooperative
experience
among
friends.
Everyone
helps
each
other
grow
their
businesses.
Customers
can now
come
into the
retail
store
and get
complete
yoga
information
and
schedules,
purchase
yoga
supplies,
get a
massage
therapy
gift
certificate,
pour a
cup of
loose
leaf tea
from the
tea bar
or shop
for
their
favorite
soaps
and
essential
oils.
UPDATE:
Bonnie
decided
to
pursue
her
interest
in
having a
traveling
tea bar
( Tea
Bar to
Go) and to
increase
her
internet
business.
After
leaving
our 223
location,
the
Green
Pergola
stepped
in and
took
over the
loose
leaf tea
bar as
well as
adding
coffee
and wifi.
Now
seats 14
inside
and 10

permitting.
