Welcome to The Market @ Lake Martin!

I’m Tamela Seymour, the heart behind this charming venture. Growing up in the upstate of South Carolina, I developed a love for business early on, which led me to Wofford College where I earned a degree in Business Economics.

My career journey took me to Alabama where I've worked Human Resources, always with a passion for building high performing teams and process improvement.

I call Lake Martin home, where I live with my husband and our three rescue pups— Frankie, Penny Ray, and Daisy.

Beyond Retail: My Life and Hobbies

Outside of work and running this venture, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, lounging with our pups, and exploring the beautiful waters of Lake Martin. I love to travel, read, and always up for my favorite podcast episode or binge-watching the newest Netflix series.

Passionate about animal welfare, I actively support spay and neuter initiatives to help end pet overpopulation.
