Cha Boutique in Ladue, Missouri is a blend of Classy-Hip-Apparel.

  • Find a space you love and want to walk into every day.
  • Find a space with little build out necessary to keep costs down at first.
  • Get into an area with other established retailers to help drive new traffic to your store.
  • Consider hiring a consultant to help you make your dreams a reality.

Check out the vide0 and let us know your tips for new and aspiring store owners.

    I have been looking for different places to buy new things for my consignment store. For one thing socks are a demand and I can’t keep enough in there to keep customers happy. They just don’t come in fast enough to consign. Do you carry them? How do they come? Can you please give me all the information about socks to make my life a little easier if possible. Oh, Yes do you have a catalog like you have for fixture and all the other cool things you sell? Please forward one to me.

    Thank you very much,
