As Serenbe continues to grow and expand as a community, so does its retailer and service offerings. The last few months have brought eight new businesses across several categories, including design services, furniture, art, baked goods, golf carts, acupuncture and the martial arts. Whether you’re visiting or live in the neighborhood, these new shops and services offer something for everyone.

At Amplify Your Ride, you’ll find Star EV golf carts, which has an expansive offering of recreation and commercial models; Bintelli golf carts, assembled in South Carolina; and Landmaster eUTVs, an electric amp UTV manufactured in Indiana. Amplify’s local owners, Jennifer and Vincent Halma provide a convenient, more sustainable and first-class service option to the community located in Crossroads.

District Market
District Market is a furniture, art and home decor boutique located in the Textile Lofts in Grange offering a gorgeous mix of retail and consignment items. Kelly Hunt and her daughter Emma opened its first location on the Selborne Courtyard shortly after COVID lockdowns put Emma’s college career on hold. Kelly wanted Emma’s education to continue, and Emma was looking for an outlet for her artistic pursuits, and so District Market became her business apprenticeship. The duo recently moved the shop into its new, more expansive space. It now hosts a Knitting Club on Mondays and various pop-ups and events, with plans underway for game nights.districtmarket.org
Minro Studio
This new ceramics studio and cafe in the Mado hamlet offers workshops, group and private classes in wheel-throwing and hand building techniques. The simple, neutral space and its retail offerings bring in owners Caroline Gilling and Eric Mbanda’s heritages as well as talents. Caroline, a ceramics artist, is from Denmark and the studio’s name stems from the Danish word minro, which translates to “my calm,” a feeling the neutral space exudes. Sip a cup of specialty coffee in her handmade cups as you shop her pieces, in addition to several beautiful African objects from Eric’s native Rwanda. minrostudio.com
