A visit to The Molly Grace is a singular experience – packed with charm and built upon an unrelenting cheerfulness.
Stephanie and Kedra McCall
The Molly Grace at 207 N 4th Street in Highlands is a charming family boutique that offers a little bit of everything.
That sounds a bit cliché, but trust us, this shining jewel has treats and treasures throughout the store, and their helpful friendly staff will always greet you with a smile.
It’s those smiling faces that set the tone for your shopping experience. That, and the colorful coolers in the shape of vintage cars that greet you at the entrance.
The Molly Grace is the vision of Stephanie McCall who always dreamed of opening a business and naming it after her daughters, Kedra Grace and Marlee, and her mother, Marlene Askew, often called by her nickname Molly, who passed away nearly a decade ago. Kedra has since joined the business full-time and manages the day-to-day operations, but you’ll often see Stephanie and Marlee pitching in.
The Molly Grace is a family affair.
The shining example Molly set for her daughter, Stephanie, and her granddaughters, Kedra and Marlee, left an indelible mark on these remarkable women who work daily to honor her memory. Their loving bond is the reason for those big smiles that greet you at The Molly Grace.
Love, grace, caring, and fun abide under this roof in equal measures, so it was only natural that when Hurricane Helene recently left areas of Western North Carolina devastated they sprang into action, collected donations, and volunteered with Samaritan’s Purse on the ground in Asheville.
This boutique is filled with irresistible, useful, and often playful items such as home décor and accessories, gift items, apparel, baby gifts, books, serving ware, candles, home fragrances, coffee table books, greeting cards, jewelry, items for your bath, purses, phone covers, food items, party supplies, gifts for golfers and pickleball players, pillows, seasonal décor, drinkware, pottery, stickers, balms, lotions, potions, and more, so much more.
This shop demands a careful browse so you can take it all in. In the spirit of family bring your mom, Grandmother, sister, children, nieces, and nephews and enjoy a family shopping trip. You’ll find something for the entire family here or that perfect gift for everyone on your list.
Their Facebook and Instagram pages are a perfect place to keep an eye on their ever-changing inventory. The Molly Grace is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M., so stop by today and discover this gem.
