Owners Jennifer Brown and Steve Kudron plan to hold an official grand opening for the store on Sept. 26. The store has quietly been open the last few weeks.

“It’s taken 18-hour days to open the store, but it’s incredible,” said Brown. “The City of Englewood helped us put up our sign. We’ve had a lot of help.”
