3 New GRAND Cities Boutiques
By Dayna Bastian
Having lived in Grand Forks for nearly seven years, I have grown to appreciate even more - shopping local. Grand Cities boutiques have a special charm that you just don’t find elsewhere. The business owners know your name and what styles you typically like to purchase, and the customer base is extremely loyal. The three boutiques I am covering in this article may be new to the Grand Cities but they've have frequent shoppers begging for a store to open in town for a while. Now their requests have been answered.
