Chattanooga entrepreneur and small business owner Kimberly Thompson will open Ooltewah’s first luxury pet boutique at Cambridge Square this spring. Fetch & Fifth will occupy 1,000 square feet on the development’s public square with space preparations now underway in anticipation of a grand opening in late June of this year.
Cambridge Square is a commercial and residential community located off Lee Highway in Ooltewah, less than a quarter mile east of I-75. Development began on the project in 2013. Since that time the community has become home to more than 45 commercial tenants, the vast majority of which are locally owned and operated.
Fetch & Fifth is a lifestyle boutique curated for pets and their owners who demand "style, sophistication and superior quality," according to Ms. Thompson who moved from Birmingham to Chattanooga in 2020 to open Love, EROS, an eclectic women’s boutique on Main Street in the city’s Southside district. Ms. Thompson plans to instill a similar personalized and welcoming touch into her new Ooltewah concept, reflective of her current boutique’s milieu.
“Fetch & Fifth lives at the intersection of fashion, function, and fur,” Ms. Thompson said. “We offer an elevated retail experience featuring high-end pet apparel, bespoke accessories, luxury grooming products, and chic essentials that seamlessly blend the modern lifestyle of pets and their owners. Whether you’re pampering your pup or treating your feline to something fabulous, Fetch & Fifth is where pet panache meets human fancy.”
Cambridge has become home to a number of local retailers with offerings that include women’s apparel, custom jewelry, hair and nail salons, med-aesthetics, home décor, fresh flowers and children’s clothing.
“Ms. Thompson is delivering a fresh and fun approach to our retail family at Cambridge,” said Jim Cheney who oversees leasing and marketing for the development. “She adds a lot of energy and creativity to the mix, and her focus on customer service and hands-on engagement are very much in line with the brick-and-mortar shopping experience we seek on the Square. We’re excited about her concept and look forward to having more four-legged shoppers at Cambridge.”
