Kelly’s Boutique Makes Debut in Downtown Warren
WARREN, Ohio -- Kelly’s Boutique & Intimates has opened a new store near Courthouse Square downtown and is changing its name to better reflect the owner’s vision. The boutique will celebrate with a grand opening and reception Dec. 3.
The owner, Kelly Franko, says her store offers high-quality brands usually found only in larger cities and specializes in professionally fit bras in a range of sizes “unmatched by others.” Other product lines are “designer shape wear, luxurious lounge wear and elegant lingerie,” she says.
“We are enhancing our brand by changing the name a bit,’ Frank says. “Jolies Femmes is French for ‘Pretty Women,’ and since many of the products we offer are European, this boutique has more of that flair. All women are pretty, and we have so many pretty things, [so] the name seemed a natural fit.”
In addition, she said, the downtown better offers a better atmosphere for the niche products and services her boutique offers. “We needed a space that would best portray the exquisite products we make available to the women of our community, and we are excited to be a part of the downtown merchants,” she says.
During the grand opening, Kelly’s will hold hourly raffles and offer discounts. The reception between 5 and 7 p.m. will feature live music, appetizers and wine, and a grand prize giveaway.
The reception will benefit “Free the Girls,” a nonprofit organization that helps victims of human trafficking. Donations of bras will be accepted and funds raised from the sale of raffle tickets will be used to offset the costs of shipping the donated bras to Africa.
For more information, or to make a donation to “Free the Girls,” contact the boutique at 330 369 BRAS (2727).
