A letter from
Cathy Sloss Jones SLOSS REAL ESTATE, CEO
Dear Friends,
As we turn the page on another year, I am thrilled to present this edition of the Pepper Place Gift Guide. This guide is more than just a collection of beautiful things and places to dine—it's a celebration of our community, our local shop and restaurant owners, and the extraordinary talents that make Birmingham and Pepper Place truly unique.
Our vision for Pepper Place as a design district and regional destination began more than 30 years ago when we convinced a local designer to take a space on the ground floor of the Dr Pepper Building. Richard Tubb Interiors is our longeststanding business, and while Richard announced his retirement earlier this year, his influence on Pepper Place is undisputed. Today, our district is filled with businesses that reflect our vision, including interior design studios, architecture firms, artists, and shops dedicated to creating elegant interiors and homes.
In the new year, our design resources will expand as we introduce a new shop by Design Supply's Laura Vogtle. Stay tuned, but she is filling Richard's old space with an exciting new concept and helping us continue the tradition of fine home furnishings at Pepper Place that Richard began so many years ago. In addition, our team is planning a series of new events led by Sloss Real Estate's new Marketing and Design Director, Erin Letts. Through these events, we hope to inspire, engage, and bring our community together throughout the year.
Next year also marks the 25th anniversary of the Market at Pepper Place, a milestone we're looking forward to celebrating with Birmingham. Throughout the year, the Market has a slate of seasonal programming focused on making it stable and sustainable for the next 25 years. Be sure to follow the Market for more details.
Cheers and Happy Holidays.
Cathy

Celebrating 25 years of the Market at Pepper Place
The Market at Pepper Place is a cherished Saturday tradition, transforming the Pepper Place district into a lively emporium (or openair bazaar) of unique gifts, local art, and fresh produce. During the holidays, shopping at the Market is a tangible way to support small businesses, farmers, and artisans who pour their creativity and dedication into every product. Each purchase not only brings home a one-of-akind item but also strengthens our local economy and our regional community.
Next year, we proudly celebrate our 25th Anniversary —a testament to community bonds and friendships formed over the years. As we look
Together,
ahead, we're focused on growing our Friends of the Market program to secure the Market's future, helping us reach more lives, and expand and deepen our commitment to Birmingham.
We're also excited to share the Market’s sustainability mission and journey. Over the past 25 years, we've taken steps to reduce our environmental impact, and are committed to creating a market that values both our community and the planet. Be sure to follow us to learn about the eco-friendly projects we've completed and what we’re planning for the future. We’re always working to tell our story better —we hope you’ll be a part of it!
with your support through Friends
of
the
Market
and
our dedication to sustainability, we can ensure that Pepper Place remains a vibrant hub for our community for generations to come.
