About Us

Welcome to Poplar & Payne!

At Poplar & Payne, we believe shopping should be an experience—not just another errand.

Located in the heart of East Memphis, Poplar & Payne is a thoughtfully curated marketplace where local makers, artists, boutique owners, vintage collectors, and small businesses come together under one roof. Every space tells a story, every product is chosen with care, and every visit offers something new to discover.

Our goal is simple: create a place where creativity thrives, small businesses grow, and our community feels at home.

Whether you're searching for the perfect gift, decorating your home, updating your wardrobe, or simply enjoying a great cup of coffee, we hope you'll slow down, explore, and stay awhile.

More Than a Marketplace

Poplar & Payne is designed to be a destination.

In addition to shopping, you'll find:

  • A cozy coffee bar with comfortable seating

  • Workshops and creative classes taught by local instructors

  • Rotating featured artists and seasonal displays

Because our vendors continually introduce new products, no two visits are ever quite the same.

Supporting Local Dreams

Every purchase you make supports a small business owner.

Behind each booth is someone pursuing a dream—an artist creating by hand, a family-owned boutique, a craftsman perfecting their trade, or an entrepreneur taking a leap of faith. When you shop at Poplar & Payne, you're investing in your neighbors and helping local businesses flourish.

We believe that communities are stronger when small businesses succeed.
