Blog Post 2

In my last blog, I wrote about my favorite retailer Firefly.  Firefly started a couple years ago.  There was one other designer boutique about twenty minutes away.  However, that was too far and most people did not feel like driving that long.  There was also places like Nordstrom in Durham, Neiman Marcus in Charlotte, and Rebecca's in Greensboro, but nothing in Burlington.  The need for designer fashion was strong in town.

So, Laura Creech, a business student straight out of Elon University, along with her mother Phyllis, decided to open up a small boutique in the center of downtown Burlington on Spring Street.  Upon my first visit there, I asked Laura what her reason was for opening up a designer shop here in Burlington was and she replied, "My mom and I got tired of driving out of town to find the clothes we wanted."  Since the opening, the store has been absolutely thriving.  The duo have remodeled several times, which seems to keep the customers rolling in.  They also offer great sales and events to get people in the store and they both seem to have a good sense of business and fashion.
