Manager of Bella Chic Taryn Mackow feels like the new clothing store is doing well downtown, thanks to a warm welcome by Moose Jaw.
Bella Chic opened about three weeks ago, to an overflow of support that had people lined up out the door. The opening featured swag bags for the first people in line and some worthwhile desserts from Taste by Katrina, and really piqued the interest of customers.
The party hasn’t stopped either, according to Mackow — the store has continued to see lots of people stopping in to check things out.
“It's been busy every day, steady,” said Mackow. “It's great, we've got a great location being downtown, so there's been lots of tourists in, lots of locals.”
“We're trying to reach out to all ages, trying to bring stuff in for everybody. So, we constantly are going to have new stuff coming in over the next few weeks,” said Mackow. “We've kind of got that like New York, L.A. vibe going on, so it's kind of nice to see in downtown in this old building.”
There’s also plans to have ongoing pop-ups at the store, featuring fun collaboration from other businesses. Taste by Katrine will be back, as well as HoBo Donuts from Regina with specialty homemade donuts. On Fridays, the boutique will have selections of flowers from Ellen’s on Main for sale.
“Michelle [Stratford], the owner, is definitely about supporting local, so we're trying to collaborate with lots of the businesses in Moose Jaw,” said Mackow. “She's really great at doing that, so I think that is something that Moose Jaw needs.”
The boutique is a second location, with the original store located in Regina.
The easiest way to keep up with new product and pop-up dates is to follow Bella Chic on their Facebook or Instagram pages, or to stop by the store for a visit.
