McMullen's search for children clothes led to Tater Tot Boutique in Keller

Lindsey McMullen wanted more shopping options for clothes for her two children. That became the spark for Tater Tot Boutique & Upscale Consignment, a children's clothing and consignment store in Keller.

“I was sick of driving to Dallas or Fort Worth to find clothes,” said the mother of two kids, ages 8 and 4.

The overview: The name of the store came from her daughter’s nickname, McMullen said.

She said when she was looking to open her shop, she looked at several locations before settling on a space that was formerly a martial arts studio inside the Keller Town Center development.

Tater Tot Boutique sells clothes for newborns through children's sizes up to 12. McMullen said she leaned into styles that mix classic Southern looks with fun designs.

What else? McMullen, a Grapevine resident, is a lawyer. She says this business is a space where she can use her creativity.
