Penage - The Local Joint

I loved photographing Penage. Their store has so many unique pieces and textures. It is a family business that has amazing service and great relationships with their clients. I have been in some of the homes that Lauren Minto has done the interior design for and I was blown away at her work.

They’ve been offering decorative accessories for the home since 1996. Over the years, styles have changed, but Penage always offers the latest trends in lamps, furniture, picture frames, candles and more.

So whether you are looking to add a few unique pieces to your home, shopping for a loved one or you are looking for a interior designer - you need to contact Penage.

The store is located downtown Tuscaloosa on 6th Street.

Retail Store Hours:
Tuesday - Friday: 10am to 4pm
Saturday - Monday: Closed

PENAGE IS HAVING A STORE WIDE SALE STARTING NOVEMBER 24th to DECEMBER 11th WHERE EVERYTHING IS 20% OFF.

Why Buy Local???

1- Buy Local -- Support yourself: Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms -- continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

2 - Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses.

3 - Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Local = Unique.

4 - Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5 - Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.

6 - Get better service: Unlike most corporate business with chain stores - the local business is geared more on community service and hiring quality workers that care about the customer and the service they provide. Local is where they know your name.

7 - Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.
