COLUMBUS

Kaylie Gibson is preparing to open a family-owned children’s clothing store in the former Rae’s Jewelry location at 110 5th St S in Columbus. Kid’s Cavern Clothing Co. came about because Gibson felt that “It’s always hard to find kids’ clothes that are reasonably priced. . . We wanted to open up a store for everyone where the clothes aren’t so expensive.” They plan to be open for business starting in October, and hope to accommodate working parents by staying open into the evenings. “It’s a family-owned company,” Gibson said. “. . . We’re excited to bring this to the community. I’m a big supporter of family-owned stuff and shopping local. We are just excited to bring that here in Columbus.”

STARKVILLE

Villa Nails Bar and Spa, 327 Hwy. 12 W., opened up next to Umi back in July. “It’s not your average nail salon,” salon manager Hailey Elkins said. “We want people to give us a chance. Our prices are a little higher, but the quality of work is worth it.” Mon~Sat 9am-7pm

Fearless Martial Arts at 821C Hwy. 12, next to China Garden, is open Mon~Fri from 2-7:30pm. They offer kid’s martial arts, adult self-defense, and both kid and adult fitness classes. “My family and I are beyond excited and blessed for the opportunity to serve families here in Starkville,” owner Josh Buford said. “If there is anything we can do for you, your child, or your family: Please reach out to us.”
