Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting at Wylie & Co.

Wylie & Co. is celebrating its grand opening with a ribbon cutting this Friday morning. The downtown shop pairs contemporary menswear with local art, handmade goods and a bar and lounge, right across from the Grove Arcade.

Stop by 29 Page Avenue from 11 AM to noon to meet the team, look around and grab a drink. Purchases are 10% off during the celebration, excluding alcohol, gift cards and art.

Wylie & Co. has called Asheville home since 2017, and this is its new downtown spot. Come out Friday and help them open the doors.

Wylie & Co. is a men's shop, gift store and whiskey lounge at 29 Page Avenue, across from the Grove Arcade in downtown Asheville. The racks carry sustainable contemporary menswear, and the walls and shelves feature local art and handmade gifts. The bar pours premium whiskey, wine, beer and mocktails, so you can shop, sit down and have a drink in the same room.

Early shoppers say the owners are friendly and the collection is well chosen, with high-quality local products and a clean, proper bar inside the store.
