Our Owners
Tara is from Nashville, Tennessee and has spent her whole life in and around retail, following her parents in their retail footsteps. While Ben was born and raised in the Netherlands, and ended up in retail directly after graduating from college in Rotterdam.
The dynamic duo are very passionate about boutique retailing and their local communities. Together, they started several boutique concepts, including Zest. The idea was to have unique clothing brands and pieces that add a little “Zest” to your wardrobe.
Today, Zest has three boutique locations full of vibrant and exciting finds that our savvy shoppers can’t find anywhere else!
