About
Smith’s Blind & Shade describes itself as a locally owned and operated Nashville business that has earned a reputation among locals for window-treatment options serving both residential and commercial customers. The company attributes more than 80 years of success in the window-treatment industry to knowledgeable personnel, quality products, discount pricing, and the ability to service the products it sells. It distinguishes itself with years of experience in window-treatment repairs and an in-house repair facility.
The business was established in 1930 as Smith’s Blind Shop, originally the premier blind repair shop in Nashville, with Mr. Smith noted as the first locally advertised “blind man.” The shop was located on Natchez Trace near Vanderbilt Stadium and became known across Nashville for blind repairs, refurbishing, and cleaning, as well as new custom-made venetian blinds and shades at discount prices. Present ownership incorporated and changed the name to Smith’s Blind & Shade, Inc. in 1986.
