We spent 30+ years in the fast-paced world of D1 college football life. John was the defensive coordinator at great programs including Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Memphis, and East Carolina. While John was coaching at the University of Arkansas, we became very close friends with our next door neighbors, John and Karen Cole, who own Walker Brothers, which is to this day a thriving men's apparel store in Arkansas. We loved seeing how they combined great merchandise with building a community of friends. Charleen also discovered her eye and passion for quality merchandising. After living across the Southeast, John hung up his collegiate football whistle and we started our next dream by opening Clothes Horse Men's Apparel in downtown Alpharetta. We're built off of the things that are most important to us: quality merchandise, excellent service, community, inclusivity, and family. Our goal is to bring the highest quality, highest value goods to Alpharetta and the marketplace. Building long term relationships with our customers who turn into friends is one of our greatest privileges. [read more]

Sis & Moon's is a shop where local artists, makers, and beautiful-thing lovers unite. Our shop features curated items from both new and vintage sources. Chris & Wendy Vogt founded Sis + Moons in 2012. Having much success and with the exploding growth in Downtown Alpharetta, in 2017, we brought in friend and new partner Alyx Korner. Her expertise in retail and hospitality has been pivotal to our success. The Vogt sister’s grandparents, George and Miriam owned a hardware store in Schaumburg, Illinois for over 35 years. It was the meeting place for the community on any given day. Our best lessons were learned from quietly observing Gramps & Gram's interaction with their customers. From seeing our Grandfather place his hand on a customer's shoulder while explaining how to install a screen door .. or how our Grandmother would bake every Wednesday and bring in those goodies on Thursday for all the people that worked for them. Here at Sis & Moon's those traditions live on. We have big shoes to fill but we know our Grandparents would be proud of us. The exact bell that was on their front door now hangs on our door at the shop. And when that bell sounds we are reminded of our Gramp's & Gram and how they treated each of their customers with kindness and respect. Our hearts are filled with gratitude. We'd like to say Thank You to all of you who come out and support us! [read more]
