This month, we are featuring a business spotlight interview with Rescue Me Market + Mercantile located in downtown Thomaston, GA.
Rescue Me Market + Mercantile was established in 2012 by Deanne Avery & Lane Coggins, who took a chance on a big dream by quitting their full-time banking careers. Operating in one of Thomaston's historic downtown buildings, formerly O. W. Jones & Son Hardware, Deanne & Lane run one of the most successful antique, furniture and home goods markets in the area.

Thomaston, Georgia is rich in opportunity and we set out to prove that if two girls worked hard enough we could show everyone that business is alive and well in our community. Almost six years later, we're still here and business is good.
