Southaven’s Silo Square is set to welcome more than a dozen new businesses this year, ranging from bars to a barber shop.
The mixed-use development, which has an extensive array of both businesses and homes, broke ground in 2018 and opened its first business in 2019. As of Jan. 25, 29 businesses call Silo Square home.
Silo Square’s most essential design goal is to fill a void in Southaven’s community. Lexie Hill Grisanti, Silo Square’s director of marketing and real estate, notes that because Southaven is a relatively new city (it was incorporated in 1980), it lacks a town square or similar community gathering spots prevalent in older cities and small towns.
“Across the Mid-South and United States, these town squares and downtowns bring life and a sense of community to residents and visitors alike,” Grisanti said. “Silo Square’s goal and vision is to be that central community spot for shopping; dining; residents and visitors to spend weekends; enjoy local entertainment; and embrace community events such as car shows, art shows, crawfish and music festivals.”
