Co-wners Robin Ebrecht, Angie McClelland and Deb Haring opened Yaya Club Clothing in November 2018 to fulfill a need in the community by providing affordable women’s clothing with fashion advice.
“We don’t feel like you need to walk into a Neiman Marcus per se, and have to spend $2,500 to get the kind of customer service that we want you to have,” Ebrecht said. “You’re greeted here with a sales force that is actually trained in what they do. They read trend reports; they shop; they understand color palettes; they understand your body; and it’s just an art that’s lost.”
Ebrecht opened Yaya Club in 2002 in Beaumont. When the Katy-based trio formed last summer, they looked for locations in Old Town Katy and chose to keep the name Yaya Club because they wanted to continue to promote sisterhood, Ebrecht said.
“We had a lady here ... and people were walking in, and we would yell, ‘Oh, my gosh, Hey!’” McClelland said. “And [the lady is] like, ‘This is the only store you can walk into it and you just feel like you’re at home, and everybody’s just having a big party.’”
