We visited Fairhope in September 2024 and went to "The Happy Olive". It's a wonderful store with lots of interesting items. You can try different types of olive oil and get great advice. The sales clerks are extremely nice, courteous and helpful. We would love to come back on our next visit to Fairhope.
