iT… boutique has been in a number of spaces in Briarwood Mall, but wherever she was located, she heard one thing from customers.
"So much of the time people would come into our store and they'd say, 'You should be on Main Street. You're such a Main Street store,'" Wilson says. "We've been a store six and a half years and we've been looking for five."
That search recently ended when Wilson signed a lease to set up shop in the 1,300 square foot former home of the Chocolate House on S. Main.
"It was just it," Wilson says. "I feel like we got blessed with the right place at the right time. I'm just really excited to be downtown and to be part of the mix. I cannot wait to get open."
Renovations are now underway in the downtown location, and iT… has closed its Briarwood store in preparation for the move. Wilson plans to feature a number of new artists, jewelry and pottery in the new location, and hope to open in the next several weeks.
It… will be staffed by Wilson and her husband, and the pair plan to add a part-time staffer in the new location.
