Nine Years of Nest

I’m not entirely sure if it was just teasing or a serious nudge, but Josie recently expressed surprise that I hadn’t yet written a nostalgic Nest anniversary post. Sometimes we need another person to point out the obvious – Nest turns nine this month and that’s something to be proud of.

Nest opened in October of 2003, which some days seems like eons ago and other days feels like last week. For me it’s one car and four homes ago and well before him who is now my husband showed up. It was before Donna’s made way for Great Sage and back when they still sold pet food in Roots. And Boulder was only the barest twinkle in Jeff’s entrepreneurial eye.

An eco-friendly store right here in little Clarksville. We still frequently get asked, “Why are these businesses here? Why here of all places?” The simple answer is that the brave folks with the ideas and the gumption thought Clarksville looked like a good spot to grow some eco-endeavors. Others of us gathered around to help make ideas into reality. And then a community of customers showed up, and kept showing up.

We’re so grateful for you, the community to which we belong. The life of Nest is woven through with the colorful threads of your lives. Thanks for nine great years!
