SPOTLIGHT | SIDE STREET BED & BATH
After retirement, Jennifer Nelson found herself wanting to be more involved in the community and to be around people. In her time out and about, she noticed that Sheridan had a niche to be filled with mid to high-end quality bed and bath goods. With that in mind, Jennifer created Side Street Bed & Bath to offer beautiful, soft, and relaxing items to the community. Jennifer and her husband Garry have owned the downtown business since 2014 and Jennifer runs the business full time. While designing the look and feel of Side Street Bed & Bath, Jennifer employed the concept that she wanted to help people create a haven for themselves. She enjoys helping people create a restful environment so they have a relaxing escape in their home. Jennifer said that she wanted a whole new experience for shoppers. She said, “With all of the beautiful blankets, bedding, towels, and soft intimates, there’s a tactile experience to give people when they’re here.” One thing Jennifer said she wants more people to know is that she carries bedding at Side Street Bed & Bath. She stated, “Oddly enough people don’t know I offer more than pajamas and towels until they come in and shop.” Jennifer really enjoys working with people who want help designing their bedrooms to create a dreamy escape with colors and fabrics. She keeps a sleek and openly shoppable space that is easy to browse and allows plenty of room to move around and put together your own [...]

Kathy’s goal at Verdello is to bring the world’s flavors to Wyoming and you can expect to be exposed to different ways of cooking. The wine selection in the store is impressive. Kathy stated “The thing with wine is that we’re a step above other places. I’m at my second level of WSET (The Wine & Spirit Education Trust) training. We’re not just here to sell, we’re here to be educated in what we’re selling our customers to help guide them to the right product”. Nikkita Miller, Verdello's store manager, spoke highly of the wine selection and wanted to educate people about the fact that Verdello offers a range of wines on tap and has growlers to fill.
