About Us

Baxter’s Mercantile opened its original location in Columbia TN in June of 2018.   Baxter’s grew and developed a very loyal and large following.  The original location was started by Phil and Carol Baxter, in which Phil brought over 30 years of experience to this type of business.  In February of 2022, Scott and Lisa Williams became partners with the Baxter family in the move and expansion of Baxter’s Mercantile of Columbia to its new and current location at 808 South Garden Street in historic downtown Columbia Tennessee.  The Williams family brings a combination of lifetime residency in the community and many years of financial and management experience.

Baxter’s is located in a very historical, beautiful, and familiar building in Downtown Columbia.  This unique and beautiful building was built in the area in the 1800s and is very rich in the history of Columbia.   For many years this building was the law office of the Dubois Family.  

The new location and expansion of Baxter’s covers nearly 6000 square feet of space with 40 plus vendor shops.  There is a very large selection of products and merchandise, making Baxter’s a one stop shopping experience.  These include home furnishings, home décor, many unique handmade items, large gourmet food selection, Children’s clothing, men’s clothing, huge selection of gift items, novelties, locally made products, amazing selection of local artists, several women’s clothing boutiques, and much much more.

We at Baxter’s are very fortunate and blessed to be a part of such an amazing atmosphere in downtown Columbia & Main Street and happy to be involved in such a wonderful  community as Columbia TN.
