| Boutique womens clothing shop opens in Bliss Lofts - Canton Repository Posted: 24 May 2019 03:18 PM PDT The boutique, 217 2nd Street NW downtown, will hold its grand opening Saturday. CANTON Kendall and Blue Boutique, a women's clothing and accessories shop, is downtown's newest arrival. The boutique, 217 Second Street NW in the bottom of the Bliss Lofts, will hold its grand opening Saturday starting at 9 a.m. with giveaways for the first 50 customers. The airy store is filled with colorful pants, patterned dresses and flowy tunics. "Who says comfy can't be stunning?" said co-owner Jamie Snow. Downtown Canton is the boutique's second location. Snow and co-owner Miranda Hoyt opened the first Kendall and Blue in 2017 in Marysville. Snow was searching for a passion to pursue once her kids were in school. She loved boutique clothing but struggled to find classic items that were also modest. "I really just wanted people to find classic pieces that had coverage, that were comfortable but still felt pretty," she said. Snow's aunt lives in the downtown apartments and mentioned the boutique to Onesto and Bliss owner Steve Koon. A few meetings later and plans were underway for the building's first retail shop. "I feel like I formed a snowball at the top of the hill and I nudged it and it's just taken off and I'm chasing it down the hill now," she said. "It's been amazing." Snow and Hoyt weren't quite ready to open a second location, but downtown was "just meant to be." "We just fell in love with the historic art district," she said, adding that the historic look and gilded gold accents of the building match the boutique perfectly. The Canton shop will carry many of the same items as the Marysville location but tailored to the downtown crowd. For example, blazers and office wear aimed at professional women. The boutique carries clothing in sizes small to extra large and has a plus-sized "curvy" section. In addition to clothes, it carries accessories, shoes, gifts and candy from a shop in Marysville. A "necessities nook," with items like men's ties and over-the-counter pain reliever, will be available by request for customers stuck in a pinch. "We want people to feel welcome and just comfortable and warm when they come in," she said. Kendall and Blue is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will be open later during downtown events. "I'm really happy to be here. I hope that people love us here," Snow said.

| Fort Collins, Loveland to lose women's clothing store chain - The Coloradoan Posted: 22 May 2019 12:33 PM PDT CLOSE  Dressbarn stores in Fort Collins and Loveland will shut down as part of the national closure of about 650 stores. The women's clothing store first opened in Fort Collins at Front Range Village in 2008 and moved to 4350 S. College Ave. in 2015. For now, the Fort Collins and Loveland stores remain open, as does the Dressbarn website. There are no current changes to the store's return, refund or gift card policies, according to a company statement. The decision was difficult but necessary, said Steven Taylor, Dressbarn chief financial officer, in a statement. The chain had not shown "an acceptable level of profitability in today's retail environment." The assistant manager on duty at the Fort Collins store Wednesday morning referred all questions to corporate but said there is no firm timeline for the closure. Reaction from Fort Collins shoppers was mixed Wednesday. "I'm devastated," said Carol Bores of Loveland, a frequent customer. She said she has "no idea" where she will shop once the store closes. "It's kind of scary." Linda of Fort Collins, who did not want to give her last name, said she was at the store to see if there were bargains to be had. She said the name of the store worked against it in capturing her clothing dollars. " 'Barn' doesn't evoke nice clothes that you want to wear," she said. "It evokes farm animals and heifers. But they always have people (shopping) in here, so people are looking past the name." Dressbarn is part of New Jersey-based Ascena Retail Group, whose other brands include Ann Taylor, Lane Bryant, Catherines, Cacique and Justice. The company recently sold its Maurices brand. "During the wind-down process, we will continue to provide our customers with the same great experience both in-store and online, offering them even better deals and value," Taylor said in the statement. "We will work to assist our associates through the transition and maintain existing relationships with our vendors, suppliers, and other key stakeholders through this process." According to the statement, plans for closing individual stores and information about store closing sales "will be shared during the wind-down process." This year has been tough for retailers, with more store closings announced than in all of 2018. With Dressbarn closures, there are more than 7,000 closings announced for 2019.
