• Name: Shuptrine’s

• Owner: Bonny and Alan Shuptrine

• Location: 2646 Broad Street, Chattanooga

• Service: Fine American art, gold leaf gilding and artisan relish

• How it got started: Alan Shuptrine launched his gold leaf and framing business in 1985 and bought a building on the Southside in 1996. He quickly branched out from gilding into restoration and eventually launched an art gallery that now features between 35 and 42 pieces of mid-19th century to modern fine American art.
