Agora

Agora is an eclectic home accessories and casual art boutique on Beach Drive owned by entrepreneur Marcus OBrikis. With locations in both downtown St. Pete and the Ybor City neighborhood of Tampa, this home and lifestyle shop offers unique gifts from all over the world. You'll find colorful tableware from Japan, scented soy candles from Portugal and hand-rolled incense from India. OBrikis opened his first store on the island of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1992 and after spending time on South Beach, decided to call the Tampa Bay area home. Agora (Greek for marketplace) showcases the owner's unique taste in handmade furniture, pottery, lighting, textiles, tableware, jewelry, candles and accessories.
