A closer look at new and emerging businesses

TNC Trading Post

TNC’s Trading Post is a new, local source for biker and Western leather apparel. Owners Thom Nichols and Cindy Andrews are fulfilling a long-term dream of opening such a store. While out riding one day, Thom realized that Jefferson City needed a leather store, so their journey began. A wide selection of leather jackets, vests, chaps, gloves, belts, hats, wallets and purses are available. Other items include travel bags, totes, jewelry and T-shirts, and they soon plan to carry dog coats, collars and leashes as well. Can’t find what you want? Thom and Cindy encourage you to ask, and they will do their best to provide it. Store hours are 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
