At the beginning of the year, What Now Memphis reported that Abbikadabbi’s Baking Co. would open its first brick-and-mortar storefront in the spring of 2024. Fast forward a few months, and the opening date has been pushed back, but a location has been announced.
Abbikadabbi’s will open inside Southaven’s Top of the Sipp mixed-use development on the west side of Snowden Lane, across from the Snowden Grove soccer fields. The development recently announced its first two tenants, with Abbikadabbi’s being one of them.
The Top of the Sipp site states, “Top of the Sipp already has full occupancy for the first retail building, with letters of intent from specialty bakery Abbikadabbi’s Baking Company and Suite Serenity, a salon suite facility.”
Founded and owned by Olive Branch native Abi Nichols, Abbikadabbi’s is known for its creatively decorated baked goods. Picture extravagant wedding cakes, crawfish boil-themed cookies, and trays of peach cobbler.
Currently serving custom orders out of her home, this will be the first official storefront for the 23-year-old baker. Nichols mentioned that she will continue to take custom orders via her online request form as usual for June and July, but August and September orders will be limited due to the store’s opening in the fall of 2024.
