Downtown clothing store starting to make its mark
As the economy continues to force downtown business closures, Fresh of Nashua, a boutique that opened June 1, appears to be gaining the support of local shoppers and other storeowners.
“I’ve developed quite a base of regulars since June,” Owner Cheryl Plunkett said. “New ones daily.”
Among the fans are other downtown merchants, who say Plunkett’s energy for the new business has been inspiring.
“She’s a wonderful, great addition to downtown Nashua,” he said. “It’s great to have her as a neighbor,” said Phil Scontsas, owner of Scontsas Fine Jewelry and Home Decor, which is across the street.
Fresh of Nashua, 178 Main St., was one of very few businesses to open downtown in 2008, amid declining economic conditions. In fact, about half a dozen closed.
Although it’s a boutique, Fresh of Nashua’s merchandise was chosen with price in mind, not just fashion.
