Katie Jacobs
Owner of Cheeky Peach
Katie (Foley) Jacobs, UGA Class of 2005, graduated with a degree in magazine journalism with an emphasis in photojournalism. Katie lettered as a member of UGA’s varsity Equestrian Team and also served as photo editor at the Red & Black student newspaper. After graduating, Katie developed an eye for fashion after working in wholesale jewelry. This led her to conceptualize Cheeky Peach Boutique, which opened on Hull Street in downtown Athens in the summer of 2010.
The store quickly became popular among UGA students and young professional women alike. Since it's opening, Cheeky Peach has moved from 900 square feet of retail space, expanded twice, and is currently occupying 6,000 square feet in the present location on Clayton Street. Cheeky Peach has twice been named to the Bulldog 100 list's prestigious "top 20," hitting #13 in 2016, and the #14 slot this year.
