Remembering our founder, Janet
Janet’s dream was to always open a bridal and formal wear store. That dream came true in 2014, On November 14th we opened our doors to the public. Janet had been married to her husband, Greg, for over 25 years at the time of opening (one love).
In October 2021 Janet was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer, unfortunately, it had spread to her Liver, and chemotherapy didn’t help. She fought hard and was such a strong woman up until the end. She was still coming into the store during her treatments, training Alison for the future as she had not had experience with more of the business side of things.
On August 12th, 2022 Janet took her last breath here on earth.
Her wings were ready, but our hearts certainly were not.
Janet, you were an amazing businesswoman and inspired so many people’s lives. We all miss you and love you so much. We will always remember your joyous laugh and wonderful smile.
