Dreamy Spring Wardrobe!

User Rating:  / 10

Spring has sprung at Mainstream Boutique, and we have put together a perfect spring wardrobe for you!

A great wardrobe starts with all the right basics, which should be the foundation of your collection.   We suggest having a black, white, and 3 - 6 fun colors in a basic stretch tank which does not add bulk.  Try shades of green, blue, coral, pink, purple and orange.  These will look like new after endless washings.  

 

BASICS

 

Another must have is the fitted tank dress, which looks amazing under sheer or crocheted pieces, or under shorter tunics you want to wear with leggings.  It also serves as a fitted slip for a smooth, flattering look.  Black in this is essential, and once our customers buy one, they come back for many!

New Stores Opening Soon!

User Rating:  / 2

So exciting to announce two more upcoming store openings!  Our multi generational boutique concept is growing.  The great thing is the company began in 1991, franchised in 1998, and has been steadily growing until a year ago when we brought on Corey DeNicola to head up franchise sales and development.  Since coming aboard, he has developed a team of professionals to take us to a new level.  In addiiton, unlike other franchise concepts, we have been at it for over twenty years, and have a strong infrastructure.

 

Part of our success is our insatiable passion for fashion.  We know what women want, and are bringing it to them, all the while offering more than they expect in customer service.  We always want to under promise and over deliver, whether it is with our franchise owners, or our customers.  Our goal is to offer the very best selection of updated and unique fashions -  every single day we are open.  Our buying team scours the market daily, takes many buying trips all over the country, and share trends ongoing.  We study customer buying trends, and work with our vendors to bring the best in fashion to our invaluable customers.  Our buying power and expertise is strong, and we never lose sight of the importance of continually changing and updating.  

 

This season we are off to record growth, and it is only February!  Stay tuned as we grow the Mainstream brand nationwide, one city at a time!
