About Us/A LITTLE DIFFERENT. A LOT TO DISCOVER.

Welcome to Poplar & Payne!

We're not your average shopping experience. And that's exactly the point. Located in the heart of East Memphis, Poplar & Payne is a 6,100-square-foot shopping destination bringing together independent businesses, local artists, vintage collectors, makers, and creative entrepreneurs under one roof.

From one-of-a-kind vintage finds and handmade pieces to home decor, clothing, art, gifts, and everything in between, our shelves are filled with things you won't find just anywhere.

Whether you come in looking for something specific or simply want to see what's new, there's always something worth discovering.

And chances are, you'll leave with something you didn't know you needed.

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORE

Poplar & Payne started with a simple idea: create a place where small businesses could grow, creativity could thrive, and shopping could feel exciting again. What began as an idea quickly turned into months of planning, renovations, late nights, and learning an entirely new industry from the ground up. But through it all, our vision stayed the same: to create something Memphis could be proud of.

A space that feels elevated without being intimidating. A place where independent businesses have the opportunity to shine. And a store that makes you want to come back just to see what's changed. Because around here, there's always something new.

SMALL BUSINESSES/A LOT TO SEE

The best part of Poplar & Payne? The people who fill it. Our store is home to dozens of independent vendors, each bringing their own style, creativity, and personality into the space. Every booth, shelf, and display tells a different story.

Some of our vendors create everything by hand. Others have an eye for finding vintage treasures, designing beautiful products, or bringing something completely unexpected to the table. Together, they make Poplar & Payne what it is. When you shop here, you're doing more than making a purchase. You're supporting real people, independent businesses, and the creativity that makes our community special. And we think that's pretty cool.

COME LEARN SOME NEW SKILLS

We wanted Poplar & Payne to be somewhere people could experience something new, not just buy something new. That's why we created The 4934, our dedicated classroom and creative event space.

From hands-on workshops and creative classes to special events and experiences, The 4934 brings another side of our community together. Learn something new. Bring a friend. Try something you've never done before. There's always a reason to come back.

COME SEE WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT.

We're proud to call Memphis home, and we're even more excited to be part of its growing community of small businesses and creatives. Whether you're stopping in for a quick gift, spending an afternoon browsing, or joining us for a class, we hope Poplar & Payne becomes one of your favorite places to visit.

Good finds. Great people. Something new around every corner.
