Located in the vibrant Crestview neighborhood of Austin, Parker + Scott is a sustainability-focused general store founded by Jess and Ian Haisley. Opened in July 2021, our store aims to provide a comfortable and curated shopping experience, reflecting the values we cherish as a family and a community.
Our Story
Parker + Scott is named after our two boys, Ayden Parker and Aiden Scott, step-brothers who share the same first name. As parents of three wonderful children, we understand the importance of creating a space that feels like home. Our mission is to be more than just a store—we strive to be an integral part of the Austin community, supporting local artisans and fostering a sense of togetherness.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Parker + Scott, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to the principles of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Local:
- Reduce: We carefully select products based on their environmental impact, opting for items with minimal or no plastic packaging. We encourage customers to choose digital receipts and reduce waste.
- Reuse: We repurpose shipping materials and encourage customers to bring their own containers for refilling home cleaning supplies.
- Recycle: We partner with Ridwell to provide recycling options for items like batteries, light bulbs, and styrofoam. Our store also features Sneaker Impact boxes for recycling old sneakers.
