Sarah Love Hart didn’t want to choose between her two passions, retail and cooking — so she didn’t.

It’s been nearly three years since Hart opened Hart & Hive Provisions in North Chattanooga, which she describes as a “European-style market and gift shop.

“It’s all my favorite things in one place,” the Chattanooga native says. “You can come in and buy dinner, then buy a gift or something for yourself.”

Hart launched a second location this August in the Ooltewah/Collegedale area. Just a couple of months back, she rebranded the kitchen where food is made for Hart & Hive — now called Queens Kitchen, just across the street from the original shop.
