Business Spotlight
Jug Rox Star of the Quarter
Some businesses do more than serve customers—they help build a community.
The Historic Shoals River District is proud to recognize BE Sweet LLC, owned by Jessica and Jordan, as our Jug Rox Star of the Quarter.
Jessica and Jordan were honored during our May Spring Into Small Bussiness celebration in recognition of their commitment to both their business and the Shoals community.
Since opening BE Sweet LLC, they have created more than a place to enjoy delicious baked goods—they've created a welcoming gathering place that brings people together and encourages visitors to discover everything Shoals has to offer. Their investment in our downtown, active involvement with HSRD, and continued support of community events exemplify what it means to be a community-minded business.
The success of small towns depends on people who choose to invest in them, and Jessica and Jordan have done just that. Their passion, generosity, and belief in Shoals help make our community a wonderful place to live, work, and visit.
Congratulations to Jessica and Jordan on this well-deserved recognition, and thank you for helping make Shoals an even sweeter place to call home.
Who will be our next Jug Rox Star? Be sure to follow HSRD and join us at future events as we continue recognizing the businesses and individuals who make Shoals shine.

Investing in the Future
The Historic Shoals River District is proud to congratulate the 2026 Facade Grant recipients for their commitment to enhancing and preserving the beauty of our downtown community.
The continued growth and revitalization of downtown Shoals is something our entire community can take pride in. Through the 2026 Facade Grant Program, several local businesses have taken meaningful steps to enhance the appearance and longevity of their storefronts—helping preserve the charm and character that make our town so special.
Facade grants are designed to support improvements to the exterior of commercial buildings. This can include updates such as new signage, fresh paint, restored brickwork, window and door enhancements, and improved lighting. These upgrades not only benefit the individual businesses, but also contribute to a more welcoming and vibrant downtown for residents and visitors alike.
This year’s grant recipients have embraced that opportunity. Their investments reflect not only pride in their own businesses, but also a shared commitment to the future of Shoals. Each improvement adds to the overall experience of our historic district—creating a stronger sense of place and encouraging continued growth.
We are incredibly grateful for the businesses that participated in this program. Their efforts help ensure that Shoals remains a place where local businesses can thrive, connections can grow, and our community continues to move forward while honoring its roots.
We look forward to seeing these improvements come to life and encourage everyone to take time to visit, support, and celebrate these businesses.
