Cutter's Cigars will occupy the westernmost space in the shopping center, which includes Walmart Neighborhood Market and Harbor Freight.

Knighton expressed his pride in opening the 1st Black-owned cigar shop in Northport and said he is still working through the final details before opening up to customers in the coming months.
