About Us
Our Story
Atticus & Co. was founded in 2020 as a place in downtown Athens that inhabits what we love - a place for community, exploration, learning, growing, and expanding.
Inspired by the wise and good Atticus Finch, one of our favorite characters, we want to help you find the good. Whether it's an exciting new product, a brand that expands your awareness, products that focus on (our favorite) the outdoors & adventures, or a great conversation, we want you to find it here.
Our store’s founders established something truly unique and special in our community. Two years in, they hired an employee who saw the vision and value of this gem of a shop and their ember of creativity began to spread. In 2024 that employee and her husband purchased the store with the intent of continuing and growing a space that has become a destination for locals and visitors alike.
Now a veteran and woman owned small business, Atticus embodies many things: creativity, connection, supporting small makers and American products, and giving back to the community that supports it so well.
What started as a spark, a glimmer of an idea that never quite left, has grown into a steady flame and fixture in downtown Athens.
You can be sure to Find the Good at our place. Anytime. You are welcome.
How do we find the good?
-
Social Good
Brands and makers who give back. Whether that's donating portions of their profits or empowering underserved demographics and communities, we call that Good.
-
Sustainable
Recycled or renewable materials, low impact production, efficient logistics, and products designed to do more with less. It's all Good.
-
Texas Makers
We're proud to call the Lone Star State home, and we're proud to source high quality products right in our back yard.
-
Quality Materials
It's the difference between Horween, Top Grain, and Genuine leather. Gold vermeil, filled, and plated. Organic, ethically sourced, and wild foraged.
-
Emphasis on Outdoors
We think some of life's most valuable lessons are learned outdoors. We source products to take along on your next adventure, or that support our nation's parks.
-
Craftsmanship
Handmade and distinctive, we look for makers who know the difference between single use and something that will last generations.
Be The Good
When A&Co. opened our doors in 2020, we had a strong desire to not only help you “Find the Good”, but we wanted to “Be the Good” in our community, as well. That’s why we made the commitment to donate a portion of our quarterly sales to organizations and individuals that Do Good in their communities.
