Since relocating from Old Town Spring in May, Frou Frou Galore has doubled its customer base and strengthened the shop's artisan co-op with a more extensive selection of boutique merchandise, owner Ariana Hauser said.
"I hope to be the stepping stone for individuals who want to open up their own businesses, so they could come here and rent out a spot and see if people are interested [in their products]," Hauser said. "We work together as a co-op to have our shop so we don't have to run it all the time individually, and we share all of our overhead [costs]."
The store, which opened its first location in 2009, houses 12 vendors and artisans with an assortment of products ranging from clothing and jewelry to home decor and hand-painted furniture.
Hauser closed her Old Town Spring location in August after about four months of operating two stores.
