Mellow Market, a family-owned exotic snack and wellness shop, opened in Lubbock this week carrying items like Tomato Oreos, Texas steak Lay's chips, and Chinese Orange Fanta. Co-owners Ben Jordan and Hayden Meek, who are relatives, built early buzz through social media before the doors ever opened.
Co-owners Ben Jordan and Hayden Meek, who are relatives, built early buzz through social media before the doors ever opened. Inventory preview unboxings and taste tests, filmed inside the shop's green-and-yellow space, gave people here a look at what was coming long before opening day. The two also designed the place to double as a gaming hangout, not just a place to grab something off a shelf. That angle gives it staying power beyond a single visit.
For folks in Lubbock who have wanted specialty snack shopping without driving to a bigger city or ordering online, this fills a real gap. International snack shops have been popping up across Texas in recent years, and Lubbock now has its own version with a local twist baked in from the start.
