This store sells only Alabama-made goods, and it’s got just about everything
By: Amber Sutton
Tucked away along downtown Prattville’s charming Main Street is the Everything Alabama gift shop, a store that offers, well, a little bit of everything – from art to gourmet foods to skincare, clothing and glassware – and it all has one thing in common: It’s made right here in the Yellowhammer State.
Tillie Jones, owner of Everything Alabama, said though she isn’t originally from Alabama, she has called Prattville her home for more than 30 years. “I like to say that I often feel as though I have been on my way to Alabama my whole life,” Jones said. “My late dad was an Air Force man from Tallassee, Alabama.”
Jones said she first came up with the idea for a store that sold only local goods more than a decade ago after she tried to help her son’s friend find a T-shirt sporting the town’s name and realized how difficult it was to do so.
