Quitman—On July 8, 2023, Quitman, GA newest business Smoke City held their Grand Opening. Smoke City is a smoke shop located on Highway 84 next to the Post Office. It is owned and operated by locals Jessica Daniels and Jordan Rose, both graduates of Brooks County High.
Both owners saw a need for a smoke shop, “there wasn’t a smoke shop anywhere in Brooks County, with the closest being in Valdosta or Thomasville for many. Citizens in Brooks and Quitman had to drive elsewhere taking business elsewhere from the area,” said Rose.
Daniels, a graduate of Brooks County High in 2015 saw the same need and wanted to do something that would help the community bring in more business. Daniels saw the desire in her community and the need from many of the locals. Having that need right in Quitman makes it easier for many to have access to the products that are offered.
Jordan Rose, a graduate from Brooks County High in 2019, is also a recent graduate of Morehouse College. His major was Political Science and he graduated in 2022.
Rose is also the son of the late Tawanda Rose whom many knew and miss. In honor of his mother Jordan continues her tradition to help students too. On June 1, 2023, Jordan was able to give three $1,000 scholarships from this year’s Tawanda L Rose Legacy Scholarship. “Last month we gave out 3 $1,000 scholarships for this year’s Tawanda L Rose Legacy Scholarship! Super excited to continue this tradition in my mom Libra Rose’s legacy - my goal is to make the scholarship fund bigger each year until it’s eventually a full ride (or multiple)!” Jordan Rose posted on his Facebook page.
Jordan and Daniels would like to let everyone know that Smoke City is now your one stop store for all your smoke shop needs. Be sure to stop by and check out their products and connect with them on Facebook.
