BUCKHANNON – It’s time to put on those party hats and pop the confetti canons! Caroline & Co. Boutique is set to celebrate one year of operation at their Main Street storefront in Buckhannon with a birthday bash on Saturday, March 26.  

The boutique – formerly known as “Caroline’s Closet” when it was located at Northridge Plaza – found a home in downtown Buckhannon’s one-of-a-kind Main Street scene in 2021.  

There are so many new spring arrivals – how cute are these?!

“With our new name and space, we received lots of excitement from new and loyal customers,” said Lisa Karickhoff, Director of Marketing and E-Commerce at the boutique. “Opening our doors on March 20, 2021, was a day we will never forget!” 

Through careful planning of the store’s layout and design, the Caroline & Co. staff were able to create a welcoming atmosphere that showcased the boutique’s unique clothing and accessories. A colorful grass wall provides customers with a unique photo opportunity during their shopping experience — when you look good and feel good, why not show off that new outfit? (Don’t forget to tag Caroline & Co. in your photo too, wink, wink).

“Buckhannon Main Street is a little piece of heaven within the state of West Virginia and only continues to flourish,” said Jennifer Fluke, owner of Caroline & Co. Boutique. “We feel that our boutique simply added a unique charm and hope that those near and far will travel to soak in the beauty of both Main Street and our boutique.” 

Whether a customer is looking for an item for themselves or a gift for someone else, Fluke said the boutique’s staff will be there with a smile on their face, ready to help you find an empowering piece of clothing or the perfect accessory to go along with that new outfit.  

Caroline & Co. Boutique is home to products for all age groups and occasions – girls’ night out, everyday casual wear, wedding guest, business professional, and more — with accessories to match.

The first 20 people through the door will receive a 30% off coupon for one item. To make the celebration even sweeter, the boutique partnered with Buckhannon’s Dairy Queen (their lovely neighbors across the street) and will give out 50 free cone coupons with any – yes, any – purchase at Caroline & Co. during Saturday’s event. With any $200 purchase, customers will receive a free signature Caroline & Co. Boutique reusable tote bag — plus additional free gifts offered throughout the day.  

“It feels so surreal to be coming up on our one-year anniversary on Main Street — time flies!” Karickhoff said. “The day we received the key to our new space, we never would have thought that opening our doors would bring us so much growth and opportunity within only ONE year. The passion and love behind doing what we do only continues to grow.”
