Sarah's

Sarah's was a women's boutique located in the Phenix Building at 517 South Palafox Street. It was owned and operated by Sarah Brown, who founded the business in 1986.^{[date uncertain]}

In 2003, Sarah and her husband Walter purchased the adjacent Trader Jon's building, intending to expand into the 3,500-square-foot ground floor of the Trader Jon's building for Sarah's, while leasing the upper floors of both buildings to other businesses. However, after months of renovation work, Hurricane Ivan hit in September 2004, ripping an entire wall off the Sarah's building and damaging the roof of the Trader Jon's building. Brown leased a temporary location at 308 East Government Street, intending to return to Palafox, but ultimately decided not to reopen Sarah's.
