THE WOMEN OF
Coral Boutique and Coral Kids
After more than 13 years in the boutique business, the Coral family
is growing—and this time, it’s for the littlest customers.
Reagan Row is expanding beyond Coral Boutique with Coral Kids,
a brand-new baby and children’s boutique next door to the longtime
Ocean Springs store. The new shop is in partnership with Row’s
sister, Kaleigh Busby, and will feature clothing, toys, and gifts for little
ones, marking an exciting new chapter for the local entrepreneur.
For this family, building a business that has thrived for more than a
decade is among their greatest accomplishments, but it’s the people
they meet along the way that continue to make the work rewarding.
Now, with Coral Kids, the family is taking everything they have built
and bringing a whole new generation along for the adventure.

OWNER
Kay Cox
Wanderlust came early for Kay Cox, beginning with childhood road trips packed
into her family’s wood-paneled station wagon. Decades later, she’s turned that love
of adventure into a career helping others see the world.
A travel advisor for more than 20 years, Cox owns Kay’s Travel, where she
plans everything from European escapes and cruises to group adventures. Most
recently, she’s earned a new nickname, “The Train Lady,” after organizing
more than 20 groups to travel aboard Amtrak’s Mardi Gras Service.
Cox especially enjoys traveling alongside her groups and creating personalized
experiences for her clients.
Her advice to other women is rooted in her own journey—find mentors, build
enduring friendships, and nurture the relationships that will carry you through life’s
many chapters.
After traveling the world, Cox is happy to call the Gulf Coast home.
