Meet Our Founder, Katie:
"As the sole proprietor of the woman-owned Rising Tides Apothecary, I hold an extensive background in the beauty and wellness spaces. I have partnered alongside countless small, creative business owners to consult on their business practices in my long career as a consultant. I also hold an esthetic license and have educated with many professional skincare brands across the globe.
Rising Tides Apothecary is a brick and mortar shop dedicated to offering a soothing, casual and engaging space in which customers can ask the weird questions, share the wonderful experiences and ultimately create connection within our community and help build each other up.
Somehow in our culture, we have learned that self-care is a selfish act and that we should always put others ahead of ourselves. I have seen and experienced firsthand, that when self-care is thrown to the side, things start to deteriorate quickly. My guiding light with Rising Tides Apothecary is to give you full permission to care for yourself, inside and out."
"Rising Tides lift all ships."

Business Park
The Tiverton Business Park (TBP) formerly known as the Tiverton Industrial park, at the intersection of Route 24 and Fish Road offers the opportunity to generate jobs and diversify the tax base in town. Development of the Business Park is supported in the recently adopted Tiverton Comprehensive Plan. The Longplex Sports and Family Complex is located here, having opened in late 2019. Another tenant in the park is the gas fired energy plant. Recently, a new self-storage facility has acquired a parcel and is in the design and permitting phase. The Town has received other inquiries from local businesses wishing to relocate to the park and inquiries from businesses in the region expressing a desire to move their operations to Tiverton.
