Downtown Conroe is full of hidden gems – not only great for holiday shopping, but throughout the year! We wanted to bring you the best inside scoop, so we contacted the best. Farralyn Withrow, shop and market owner right in downtown Conroe. Enjoy!
My name is Farralyn Withrow, I’m the owner of Main Street Market and Small Town Famous; both in downtown Conroe. When North Houston Moms asked me to highlight some of the shops in downtown Conroe I jumped at the opportunity because Downtown Conroe is my favorite thing to talk about!
There are so many unique family owned businesses and restaurants. As I’ve built my business here I’ve been privileged to get to know the owners of these shops and restaurants. They are some of the nicest, most creative and hardest working people I’ve ever met. They are putting it all on the line every day to fulfill their dreams and I feel lucky to get to work alongside them.
Shopping small makes a huge impact on our downtown community and ensures its future for years to come. It’s been a hard year for everyone and we want you to know we truly appreciate your business and friendship!
