Jenny Marrs is celebrating a milestone with husband Dave Marrs while reflecting on an earlier business venture. The HGTV star shares a look at their first store, revealing why the moment feels “full circle.”
Jenny Marrs Shares Details of Their First Store as She Celebrates Marrs on Main Anniversary
On April 9, Marrs took to Instagram to note the one-year anniversary of their store Marrs on Main.
She also shared that 14 years ago, they had another store on Main Street. The HGTV star reflected on the focus of that store and their “full circle” journey.
“We recently celebrated one full year of having the doors open at @marrsonmain — our store on Main Street just off our town’s historic downtown square,” she wrote in the caption.
Marrs noted, “But, did you know this isn’t the first time Dave and I have opened a store just off the downtown square?”
“In September of 2012, we opened ‘Bayt Boutique’ to serve as a fundraising space for our adoption,” Marrs explained. “There, we sold furniture and decor Dave built along with vintage pieces we restored together. We had begun our adoption process in Ethiopia and, there, the primary language spoken is Amharic. In Amharic, ‘Bayt’ means ‘house, home or a dwelling place’ and it felt like the perfect name for our little shop.”
She recalled, “We held trunk shows monthly and, for a season, evenings and weekends found Dave building in the garage (long before his shop in the barn), me painting outside on the driveway and the twins playing happily in the yard.”
Marrs shared the words she wrote the day after signing the lease for the store: “I love being right in the middle of a story being written so clearly by God. I am on the edge of my seat watching my Heavenly Father turn one page at a time … “
That message resonated with Marrs, who shared, “And, now, 14 years later, I can look back and see the incredible full circle story He wrote for our family.”
“I never would have dreamt this up and continue to pray that Marrs on Main is a beacon of light for our community and a welcoming place where everyone leaves feeling a little brighter for having been here,” she added. “May the beauty created by artisans and artists here shine brightly into the world.”
