About Us
The Store
Eel Etc. Fashions opened on November 23, 1983 in a small space on historic Beale Street. At that time Building 333 was similar to a mini mall housing the Walkers record store and Fabulous Fakes jewelry shop, the K97 radio sub-station, the Cotton Exchange dress shop as well as a palm reader, Pat Tabius, in the rear of the building.
We have been at our current location since 1989 and is the longest standing continuous business on the historic Beale Street.
The Heart and Soul of the Eel Down on Beale
The heart and soul of Eel Etc. Fashion is its owner, James Clark. Mr. Clark is a pillar in the community and treats every customer like an old friend. His kindness and classic southern hospitality makes every person who steps through the doors feel welcome and cared for.
Mr. Clark was recently awarded a Living Legends Award by the State of Tennessee. His award notes that Mr. Clark has “demonstrated the utmost professionalism, ability and integrity; his commitment to excellence and community service is representative of the Volunteer State.”
