BOXLOT opened September 20 as the eye-catching latest addition to The Edge District.
Located at 607 Monroe Avenue, BOXLOT is home a micro-retail shops and a music lounge housed in repurposed shipping containers. It features both indoor and outdoor spaces.
When Shab Chic Marketplace launched in the Edge neighborhood last year, it brought about a unique opportunity to showcase local small businesses while providing a gathering place that promoted the arts.
The shipping container venue is the literal foundation upon which BOXLOT was built. Now a fully-realized micro-retail and music lounge concept, BOXLOT opens to the public on Friday, September 20th.
In a manner of speaking, of course. The Ikea Lounge, featuring a custom selection of furniture — and serving as a venue for live music — is slated to be part of BOXLOT, a new, temporary micro retail outlet from the Memphis Medical District Collaborative (MMDC). It will be located on Monroe Avenue right next to the Kudzu's Bar & Grill space.
As we have every year since 2009, we asked Flyer readers to nominate exceptional Memphians under the age of 30, so we can get to know — and recognize — the young people who will be shaping the future of our city. Choosing the 20 we feature in these pages is always an exercise fraught with difficult decisions. Lots of deserving young people don't make the cut. We could easily do 40<30. Memphis is blessed with a plethora of talented young people.
