ABOUT HESTER & COOK DESIGN GROUP, INC.
Hester & Cook started in the home of husband-and-wife team Robbie and Angie Hester Cook. What began as Robbie's inspired idea of crafting a vintage doorknob into a bottle stopper soon became the company's first product, KnobStoppers. Within months, Angie and Robbie introduced the product to the wholesale market. From there, Hester & Cook rapidly grew into offering everything from hand-crafted chandeliers to #2 pencils. Today we are best known for our paper placemats and table runners. Assortments of our products can be found at over 3,000 stores worldwide. You can also see some of our creations at Anthropologie, Sur La Table, Dillard's, Barnes & Noble, and Magnolia. The full collection is available on our website as well as our three Nashville, TN, area retail locations found at White Bridge Road, Hillsboro Village and Franklin, TN. In early 2025, Hester & Cook also purchase a boutique chocolate company called Bang Candy. The brand debuted at the Atlanta Gift Show in July 2025 with tremendous response. All Hester & Cook retail stores now have a Bang Candy store shop with the store. We also have a standalone Bang Candy store located in Marathon Village in Nashville, TN.
