This week launched our Minky on the Move campaign where we take our followers around the United States virtually, having locals from each state show us their favorite places and giving us fun facts about their state. These state sneak peeks will give each of us a glimpse at what makes each state so amazing!
Starting off the campaign for Week 1, we've highlighted our first four states: Utah, Tennessee, Delaware, and Idaho!
Utah
Minky Couture's owner, Sandi Hendry, kicked off the start of our campaign in Utah, showing us her favorite places around Salt Lake City. Some fun facts about Utah are:
- The very middle city of Utah is called Levan, which is navel backwards, meaning the center
- Utah was home of the first major department store in all the nation, ZCMI
- Utah consumes more ice cream and jello than any other state in the nation
Tennessee
Jasmine Sweet (@jasminekatrina) is an influencer living in Nashville, TN and has lived there for the past 4 years. She gave us a tour of The Gulch, one of her favorite spots around Nashville.
Nashville's The Gulch is the home of many eateries, it's the perfect place for one stop shopping, and has multiple colorful murals.
A fun fact about Nashville:
- There are waterfalls surrounding Nashville and over to East Tennessee. Jasmine recommends visiting Cummins Falls State Park!
