Nelly’s began with a simple belief: food should spark joy, connection, and a deeper appreciation for the people who grow and create it. For Chanel and her family, this dream was never just about opening a store—it was about building a space in Savannah where culture, community, and beautifully crafted goods come together in a way that feels inspiring, intentional, and full of heart.
Every item on our shelves is chosen for its story—small-batch makers, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, striking packaging, and products that feel as good as they taste. Nelly’s Tiny Grocer & Wine Bar is where neighbors can discover something new, support local growers and artisans, and find a moment of warmth in the midst of their everyday routines.
