History

Red Potato Market was a dream born on a walk down the beach at a church retreat. Co-owners, Laurie Cuthbertson and Debra Sabrsula were asked a simple question, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” Almost taking the words out of each other’s mouths, the two women described a desire to bring to the country a place to gather, to shop, to learn and to make new friends along the way.

The original store was opened in October 2013 in Simonton, Texas, in a 1920’s Craftsman house surrounded by magnificent live oak trees. In the early 1900's, Simonton was the largest grower of red potatoes in the United States.  Having both grown up in small towns, Laurie and Debra wanted to preserve a bit of history and so named the shop Red Potato Market.

In September 2021, business partner, Debra Sabrsula retired to spend more time with family, friends and travel.  Red Potato Market grew friendships and a lifelong friendship in their journey that will be forever treasured.
