Best Store of 2009: Tigertree
Boutique shopping can sometimes be hard to come by in a city like Columbus which has a rich history with larger commercial shopping centers. When it comes to our reader’s poll though, the smaller local shops definitely reign supreme. Tigertree took home the number one spot on top of a long list of other small shops. Originally opened on Brickel Street in 2007, Tigertree migrated a year later in 2008 to their current location at 771 N. High Street. This Short North staple features both men’s and women’s fashion lines as well as a hand-picked assortment of accessories and other household items. Owners Josh and Niki Quinn also sell products under their own “Maxine, Dear” line, which includes belt buckles, wallets and more.
The Top 10 Local Stores & Shops of 2009:
- Tigertree
- Wholly Craft
- Rowe
- What The Rock?!
- Sobo Style
- Collier West
- Paradise Garage
- Substance
- Grandview Mercantile

TigerTree really stepped out into the community and became more than a shop in 2009. All of the grassroots efforts and fun ideas like the swine flu art show and the DIY Tom’s shoes really seperated TT from the rest of the pack.
Kudos and keep up the good work.
