10 Years of Ocean Springs Mercantile
“This November, Ocean Springs Mercantile
celebrates 10 wonderful years—and I can hardly
believe how quickly the time has flown,” says Owner
Susan Hagan.
“As I reflect on this milestone, I’m reminded that
retail has been part of my life for 52 years. After
moving to Mississippi in 2015, I knew I wanted
something to do. I’ve always loved old things—their
stories, character, and beauty. So I said to my husband,
‘I want to open a store with new, vintage, and antique
items for the home.’
“Who would have thought those words would lead us
here?
“What started as a little shop on Government Street
has grown into a business three times the size, now
on Washington Avenue, and a cherished part of the
Ocean Springs community.
“I’m especially grateful to our customers, who come
from near and far to walk through our doors. Your
support, encouragement, and love for what we do
mean more than you know.
“And to the hardworking ladies who make the
Mercantile what it is every day—thank you for your
dedication, creativity, and heart.
“Ten years later, I’m still doing what I love: finding
beautiful, interesting things and bringing them
together to help make a house feel like home.
“Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to 10
years—and to the next chapter!”
