About Us

Our Story

The Pines began in the fall of 2023, when neighbors Christine Lynch and Mary Beth Hines dreamed of bringing a gift shop back to Mt. Lookout. They turned to Heather Reilly for advice — and quickly realized her experience, creativity, and passion for boutique retail made her essential to the vision. Together, the three spent the following months building a business plan rooted in their shared love of the neighborhood, and in October 2024, The Pines opened its doors.

Today, The Pines is entering a new chapter. Heather is stepping into the lead, grateful for the foundation built when the business was only a concept. Heather is excited to keep growing The Pines as a gathering place and source of inspiration for this little pocket of Cincinnati.
