Two Palatine Businesswomen Combine Forces with New Retail Space
Palatine, IL – Seven years ago, Palatine resident Nancy Gust decided to open a fashion boutique in downtown Palatine called Fancy Nancy’s. She happened to be leasing the space next to Patti Curtis, a fellow Palatine resident and owner of Patti’s Pretties, a longstanding gift and flower shop.
“We instantly became friends,” said Curtis. “It is kind of like a mother-daughter relationship, but we are great friends.”
After a few years in business, Gust decided to close her shop, but she kept in touch with Curtis.
