Mashpee, MA Mashpee Commons will welcome three new retailers – Lovesac, Tina Stephens Boutique and The Pretentious Pickle – this spring. Additionally, Uva Wine Bar, a self-serve wine restaurant, held its grand opening in January.
Lovesac is an upscale furniture brand known for its durafoam-filled, ultra-plush sacs. Their proprietary, reconfigurable “sactionals” emphasize sustainability and long-term utility. The Stamford, CT-based company has 116 showrooms nationwide and the Mashpee Commons location will be the first on Cape Cod.
Tina Stephens Boutique specializes in comfortable, fashionable clothing. Stephens, the owner and creative director, began designing her own clothes when she was having trouble finding pieces that fit into her lifestyle. The items, described as travel friendly, versatile and moderately priced, have been featured in Vogue, Refinery 29 and other notable fashion publications. This is the first Massachusetts-based storefront for the brand with locations nationwide including Palm Beach, Charleston and Vail.
The Pretentious Pickle expanded from a home-based business selling at farmers markets to a commercial kitchen in Pembroke. The company specializes in everything pickled, from the classic dill and bread and butters, to all manner of pickled vegetables like carrots, okra and jalapenos.
They also carry items for the pickle connoisseur ranging from pickle popcorn and lip balm to cotton candy and vinaigrette. The new store in Mashpee Commons will reflect the nostalgia of an antique country store.
“This dynamic blend of new local and national retail businesses reinforces Mashpee Commons as a truly unique shopping destination,” said John Renz, vice president of Mashpee Commons. “We’re thrilled to welcome them and eagerly anticipate their exciting openings this spring. We also look forward to soon announcing additional retailers that will be opening at Mashpee Commons ahead of the busy summer season.”
The Common’s newest tenant, Uva Wine Bar, opened in January, marking the second location for the Massachusetts-based restaurant. Uva Wine Bar provides a self-serve wine tasting experience with 48 wines available in 2, 4, or 6-ounce pours. Selections include popular varietals from California, Europe, and South America, as well as limited offerings of reserve wines, which can be sampled in smaller portions. Beyond wine tasting, Uva’s menu offers customizable charcuterie boards, handcrafted flatbreads and home-made desserts, designed to complement the wide range of wines available.
