With family at the forefront of her inspiration and mission, April Murphy, owner of Sugar Pea Fashion exchange shop in Mount Juliet, works daily to support her local community of women and their style needs. The Sugar Pea provides Mount Juliet with luxury, budget-friendly shopping. Serving its customers for over 14 years, The Sugar Pea works with each client to sell their gently loved luxury items for resale to the next grateful owner or shop for new items.
Murphy explains, “We strive to welcome every shopper in the store with a smile and an unparalleled shopping experience. We carry sizes 00-3x and you will find seasonal on-trend clothing, shoes, jewelry, designer handbags, and formal wear.”
While Murphy purchased The Sugar Pea from its previous owners just a few years ago, she has, with her family’s support, continued to build an incredible shop that serves the women of Mount Juliet and their high-end fashion needs. “My favorite part of owning The Sugar Pea is getting to know our customers; Their likes, dislikes, and style. We talk about the weather, family, we talk about it! It’s like having girl time every day when I’m at the shop.”
Between hosting events at the shop as well as working in her other business with real estate, Murphy enjoys spending time with her husband, Rick, of 30 years while they travel, spend time on the lake with their two labs, and enjoy time with their three adult children, Brandon, Emily, and Chalee.
As an entrepreneur, Murphy has a lot of wisdom in running a business. If she could lend advice to anyone in the community, she says, “Find your niche, reinvest your profits to build and scale your business. Find key people so you can leverage your time so you are not running in burnout mode, and most of all, have fun!”
The Sugar Pea is open to the public Monday through Saturday 10am-5pm and accepts take-ins Monday through Friday from 10am to 4pm (no appointment necessary).
