ABOUT HESTER & COOK

Hester & Cook started in the home basement of husband and wife team Robbie and Angie Hester Cook. What began as Robbie’s inspired idea of crafting a vintage door knob into a bottle stopper soon became the company’s first product, KnobStoppers. Within months, Angie and Robbie introduced the product to the wholesale market. From there, Hester & Cook rapidly grew – offering everything from hand-crafted chandeliers to #2 pencils. Today, we are proud to be the creators and purveyors of thoughtful, handcrafted, nearly 100% domestically made, and aesthetically pleasing items. Hester and Cook has both a wholesale and a retail division. Assortments of our products can be found at over 3,000 stores worldwide, but the full collection is only available on our website as well as our three Nashville, TN area retail locations. Our flagship store is located in downtown Franklin, TN. We also have locations in West Nashville and Hillsboro Village near Vanderbilt University. Hester & Cook has also acquired a small candy company that they operate under the name Bang Candy. Bang Candy has a small candy shop located in Marathon Village, close to downtown Nashville. Our products are designed in Nashville, and we are proud to say that most of them are even produced right here in the USA. We love to see our products at home, being used in our customers’ everyday lives. In addition to Hester & Cook products, we also carry a wide variety of brands at retail that fit both our ethos and our aesthetic – each thoughtfully, hand-selected for your celebrations and beyond.
