‘Girlfriends’ gift shop not afraid to walk a little on the wild sideBy Heather MaysFarragutPress.com

Turkey Creek, TN — Turkey Creek’s newest shop is a little bit ‘wild.’

The Wild Pineapple, a gift shop aimed toward women, opened Friday, Sept. 26.

“It’s a lady’s gift boutique and our tagline for the store is ‘Where girlfriends go shopping,'” said Patty Gail White, owner, pictured above.

“It’s designed to be the place you go anytime you need to buy a girlfriend a gift,” she added.

The store carries wide ranges of products geared toward babies, preteens, teenagers, college students, working women and beyond.

Gifts include everything from candles to purses to jewelry to home decorative accessories.

“It pretty much covers the whole gamut of any time you would buy a gift for a girlfriend,” White said.

She wants to make sure men shop at her store as well, so she’s making it a little easier for them.

“We are keeping track of people’s wish lists, and so [men] just need to call and we’ll put together a present and they can pick it up at the end of the day,” White said. “We’ll make sure we offer that service to the guys for all major holidays. “We want those men to buy those ladies some presents,” she added.
