Biography
Early Life and Family Background
Maggie Holloway was born and raised in Lakeview, Signi, the only child of Thomas and Evelyn Holloway, founders of the original Holloway’s Corner café.

Her childhood experiences—setting tables, listening in on neighborhood conversations, and watching her parents build a space that felt like home to many—shaped her lifelong appreciation for memory, detail, and atmosphere.

Personal Philosophy
Maggie Holloway is known for her quiet presence and deep commitment to authenticity. She still writes in her journal each morning, hand-selects many of the books featured in café reading corners, and is often seen visiting Holloway’s Corner locations anonymously before their official openings.
Her vision for the brand isn’t based on scale, but on lasting emotional resonance—spaces that feel lived-in, loved, and full of stories waiting to be heard.
