Shop Local: Primas Bakery & Boutique In South Main

Seeing women come together in business will always be inspiring, so learning that cousins Angelique Sloan and Rachel Mullen decided to combine their respective businesses (Mucho + RM Petit Cakes, LLC) under one roof to open Primas Bakery + Boutique, a Latin-inspired lifestyle boutique in downtown Memphis, was double the fun!

About Primas Boutique & Bakery In Downtown Memphis

Primas means cousins in Spanish, so it was the perfect name for their business. Open since August 2018, their lifestyle boutique is filled with vibrantly colored clothing, accessories, gifts and home goods, while the bakery offers artisan delicacies including macarons, cupcakes and cookies.

Their business concept is such a unique offering in Memphis, so we knew a Shop Local feature was in order to help highlight the bold and colorful presence that their lifestyle store brings to South Main. I popped in recently to chat with Angelique (boutique side) and Rachel (bakery side) and to see what was new.

Kim: Why Downtown/South Main Street for your location?

Primas: South Main is such a unique area full of history and culture. There are so many eclectic shops and restaurants on South Main. We love being able to see tourists enjoy the area!  

Kim: What do you feel makes Primas different from other specialty shops/businesses?

Primas: Primas Bakery + Boutique is a unique space where you can have your cake and shop too! The boutique is a fusion of Latin-inspired clothing, gifts, and local art. The bakery offers grab-n-go desserts along with custom cakes & special occasion pastries!

Kim: What’s your favorite part about owning this business?

We love operating our businesses under the same roof! We each get to be creative and pursue our dreams together. 

Kim: Any special events happening that we should know about? 

Catch us on the last Friday of every month for Trolley Night! We also offer 2 events each month: a themed tea party and a dessert decorating party! Details can be found online at https://www.primasbakerymenu.com/events-at-primas
