Nest and Bloom, a locally owned retail store offering furniture, home decor, gifts, and live plants, opened at 70 S. Main St., London. A soft opening took place on Feb. 6 followed by a grand opening on Feb. 10.

The business is co-owned by London residents Kyleen and Luis Garcia and Kyleen’s mother, Christi Frea.

“Kyleen wants to bring nice businesses and options to London. She’s very interested in investing in London,” Frea said.

Kyleen also owns the Union Street Salon next door. The Nest and Bloom location was formerly home to an H&R Block office.

Furniture offerings at Nest and Bloom are ever changing and consist primarily of new items, such as sofas, end tables, kitchen tables, and desks. A wide variety of new and refurbished home decor items are available, running from mirrors and wall hangings to rugs. The store also is a good place to visit for gifts, from tumblers and mugs to books and devotionals.

Indoor plants are another part of the store’s inventory. Frea said customers can shop for pothos, snake plants, rubber plants, spider plants, and the like.

The store also has what the owners call the Bloom Room, a space where they plan to hold plant-related classes, like how-to’s on fairy garden assembly. The space will be available for birthday parties, team-building activities, and other events, as well.

Hours are: Tuesday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Wednesday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
