Shops in Historic Ellicott City that are Opening

Posted on June 22, 2020

Larry Hogan has issued Maryland into Phase 2 of reopening the state. As we ease into this transition, we’re excited to see our small businesses start to open up again. Shopping local is very important to the Ellicott City community since we have already been through so much together. For Historical Ellicott City, Covid-19 was just one more hurdle to get through. Instead of going to big box stores during reopening, we are encouraging you to take your business into the heart of Ellicott City, where they need your support the most.

Sweet Elizabeth Jane
Shop for graduation gifts and birthday gifts for your loved one here! They have clothes for the fashionista in your life, kitchen decor for your home cook, and odds and ends for someone who needs a pick me up. SEJ is a staple for anyone who wants to treat themselves after quarantine.

A Journey from Junk
This store takes the word “junk” and turns it into art. You’ll be able to find something unique for yourself to take home. From decor to jewelry, A Journey from Junk has it all to make you feel a little bit more special.

Antique Depot
If you want to save money but still decorate your home, visit the Antique Depot! You’ll be able to find antiques that are still within your budget. Explore all the floors, nooks, and crannies that this store has. You’ll be there for hours!

Forget Me Not Factory
Now that your kids are done with homeschooling, treat them with a trip to this shop on the corner. Filled with fantasy memorabilia, they’ll find something that will catch their eye. Go on the weekend and you might be able to spot the bubble man in front of the store!

Gloss Hair Studio
If you are like most of us, you are in need of a haircut. Get your much-needed trim at Gloss! They make sure you are safe and beautiful. When you enter, they will check your temperature, give you hand sanitizer, and give you a mask so you are set to get your glow up in a safe way. Call ahead of time to book your appointment!

Park Ridge Trading Co
If you are stopping your Instacart orders and want to venture out to do your shopping, visit Park Ridge! They have everything you need in your cupboard from pasta sauce, olive oil, spices and so much more.

While we are excited for restrictions to be lifted, it’s important to still stay safe. Take your temperature before you go out, wear a mask, and bring hand sanitizer. If you are buying something, make sure to disinfect the items as soon as you get home to prevent the spread. At Dorsey, we hope you and your family stay safe and support our local businesses!
