The Buzz: Fresh Expressions to Open Tuesday
Appleton, WI – Fresh Expressions will open Tuesday in Appleton. It’s a gift and home decor boutique in the former Glass Onion Studio, 1011 W. College Ave.
Owner Beth Rippl’s specialty is her own BL Designs collection of recycled felted wool hats, mittens and pillows. She also has retail buying and management experience.
The Appleton native said opening a bricks-and-mortar store was a longstanding goal. “I didn’t want to say, ‘I wish I would have …’ My kids are grown and I’ve had a lot of help from my family.”
