Made in TN: The High-Fidelity "State Heritage" Anchor for Premier Tennessee Lifestyle Districts. Founded in 2016 by Sarah and Ilex Pounder, Made in TN (shopmadeintn.com) is a world-class retail concept defined by its "Champion of Makers" philosophy. Serving as a critical Lifestyle & Gifting Anchor, the brand bridges the gap between artisanal small-batch production and the high-volume retail needs of sophisticated urban centers. Entering 2026, the brand has matured into a regional powerhouse with four strategic locations including Nashville’s 12 South, The Factory at Franklin, L&L Market, and its flagship within the Nashville Farmers Market. For developers, Made in TN represents a "Local Identity Catalyst" that validates a district’s authenticity—driving high-net-worth (HNW) traffic through its curated selection of Tennessee-made pantry staples, apothecary, apparel, and its signature "Build-Your-Own" gift box experience.
