Chillville Bakery and Boba has opened a new retail location at 1243 Rossview Plaza in Clarksville. The shop provides a range of treats, including cookies and boba tea, to the growing local community.

Market Landscape
The opening follows the documented retail growth trend in the Clarksville Exit 8 corridor as local entrepreneurs transition from temporary market stalls to permanent storefronts. This shift mirrors patterns observed in other Middle Tennessee suburban markets.
Operators looking at similar product niches should note the shelf-life constraints of preservative-free baked goods. Tracking inventory turnover will be critical for maintaining quality and minimizing waste for non-stabilized items.
The takeaway
Expanding from farmers markets to retail allows for fixed hours and larger menu variety. Owners can reach the management team at 931-677-2664 to verify upcoming menu additions like donuts.
