Shauna Metzger wanted to get involved in the Noblesville community. Having hands on experience with two young kids of her own, Metzger will be bringing Lil Bloomers Children Boutique to 982 Logan St. on Oct. 4.
“We are a children’s boutique so we offer children’s clothes … toy items and children’s furniture items,” Metzger said. “We’ll also have some baby items like little blankets and little hats.”
Since there is still some time before she officially opens, Metzger is doing some promotions, setting up the store and getting the word out.
Another plus of the boutique? Many things are locally made.
“Some of our hair bows are made by different local people, even some of our t-shirts are designed by local people,” Metzger said. “I did some market research, and I realized that there wasn’t anything specific like this in Noblesville unless you shop for clothes at local retailers.”
Metzger sat down with one of her friends and they talked about the stores that they would want Noblesville to have. A children’s boutique was one of those.
“I decided to do something on my own and after looking at the different areas this is what I wanted to do,” she said. “I can spend time with my children at the store and be a part of the community like I used to be.”
Price is on both ends of the spectrum, with clothes ranging from $5 to $100, depending on the item.
The Lil Bloomers grand opening will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 4, longer than the normal Sunday hours. Metzger said there will be an open house for people to see the store, food and special pricing.
After the grand opening, the store will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
