Sip & Shop A Local Collection recently opened a new location in the heart of Gilbert, Ariz., at Verde at Cooley Station, offering a one-of-a-kind boutique shopping experience that has become Arizona’s premier gift-giving spot. Upon entering the charming 4,000-square-foot store, guests are greeted by a delightful combination of retail therapy and a wine, beer and bubbly bar, making it the perfect destination for every shopper seeking a touch of indulgence.
Sip & Shop boasts an impressive array of unique items carefully curated from more than 60 local businesses, ensuring that guests will discover one-of-a-kind gifts — from elegant jewelry to pampering bath and body products, stylish clothing to eye-catching home decor, and bar essentials to delectable, sweet treats. The collection caters to all ages and preferences, from playful and funny items to snarky and witty curiosities.
This concept has been my dream, and, as a local entrepreneur and Gilbert resident, I opened my first Sip & Shop test location in San Tan Village before expanding to Cooley Station. Prior to founding Sip & Shop, I cultivated a series of engaging East Valley events, such as Vintage & Vino, the premier bi-annual East Valley market now in its 10th year, featuring more than 120 local vendors.
While shopping, guests can enjoy unique libations such as Sip & Shop’s signature frozen drinks that include the Cooley Peach and the Verde Vibe. Shultz has thought through every detail of a premier experience for guests, including specially designed drinking pouches so guests can enjoy “hands-free” cocktails while shopping!
Sip & Shop also offers a variety of classes from its local creators — from learning to create hand-painted wine glasses, holiday décor, cookies, jewelry and more. Private classes are available for groups, ideal for girls’ nights out, mother/daughter events and even corporate team building. Sip & Shop also offers on-the-spot custom order options with a variety of options or made-to-order custom products for that special gift.
