Small Business Spotlight: Arlo Boutique
Article by Becky Fillinger
This Saturday will mark the 12th year of Small Business Saturday, a campaign with the aim of steering Black Friday and Cyber Monday shoppers toward small businesses. Looking for ideas? Here’s a new, local small business to consider – Arlo Boutique – which has its grand opening on Black Friday. We talked to owner Ally Debiens about her new venture and opening day specials.
Q: Please tell us about Arlo Boutique. Is this your first brick and mortar location?
A: Arlo Boutique is a reflection of my personal style; Arlo offers a mix of vintage + new items. Arlo is a destination for curated capsule wardrobes. We encourage mixing + matching with beloved pieces in your closet. After launching online in April of 2020, we found it was time for us to hit the streets and expand from our showroom to a brick-and-mortar location at 21 SE 4th Street (next to Verve Realty). We are proud to support other local woman owned artists + businesses - be sure you stop in and check a rotation of their work.
Q: Who is your customer?
A: Our customer is you. No joke, we have goodies for anyone ages 18 to 80. We offer timeless, edgy + trendy clothes and accessories. You’ll fall in love with a new lounge set at the same time as picking up a dress for your next event. Gifts? We’ve got them.
Q: Will you have any door-buster, Black Friday, opening day specials?
A: Black Friday is our official grand opening celebration. Join us from 4-8pm for The Fab Tap champagne truck + Taco Taxi + Dj D-vice. We’ll give swag bags with purchases $250+. In addition, we are so thrilled to be raffling off over $1,000 in goods and services from local vendors + business.
Q: How may we follow your news?
A: To stay in the know, follow us on Instagram or Facebook. It’s always fun to check us out online at www.shoparlo.com to see what’s new. You can sign up for weekly newsletters and be the first to know about events and deals.
