Sassy sister talks of Shimmer & Chic success
Talking shop with Cyndie Grimes of Shimmer & Chic in Fort Myers: Grimes owns the store along with her two sisters, Teri Hansen and Kathi Graham.
The three sisters banded together to create their company, Sassy Sisters, while each continues to pursue careers in nursing, marketing and education.
“We were going to open a store in North Carolina, but it worked out that we opened this store temporarily. We had a huge Christmas event and did so well that season and we ended up staying there,” said Grimes. “Our North Carolina boutique will open in the next couple of weeks and will be run by my sister Kathi.”
Shimmer & Chic opened more than a year ago in Fort Myers across from Sam’s Club at the Gallery of Real Estate building, 1870 Clayton Court. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The store also stays open by appointment. Call 278-1234.
