Nomad Supply

The Nomad Supply Shop is a boutique and hangout located at 916 23rd Street South. The store was founded by Beau Armistead and grew out of his traveling vendor business which operated at Grateful Dead, Phish, and Widespread Panic concerts.

The purpose of the store is to provide a comfortable place for people to hang out and find unique items such as handmade clothes, artwork, body products, jewelry and gifts. The store offers free coffee and tea as well as wireless internet service. The store's coffee is imported from Rwanda through a Minnesota non-profit that works with coffee growers directly.

Armistead also uses the store to promote his Luxury Fund, an appeal for people to divert the money they would spend on small daily luxuries like coffee or ice cream toward international relief and justice causes.
