'Perfect location!': Delight at opening of new Shrewsbury boutique
The High Street in Shrewsbury has been boosted by the introduction of a new boutique.
Teresa's Boutique, owned by Teresa Futter, at 45 High Street, opened last week but was officially unveiled by Lord Lieutenant Anna Turner on Tuesday.
Teresa first started her business in October 2019 in the Darwin Centre. She had to close in March 2020 but reopened after the Covid pandemic in April 2021 and has enjoyed success, selling classic pieces, specialising in wedding outfits, racing outfits and more.
Now she has moved on to the High Street and said: "The Darwin Shopping Centre were really good to me and extremely supportive.
"They encouraged me to set up the business really and it grew and developed out of all bounds, more than I could have imagined.
"I feel very lucky and I have a great customer following, people who have supported me through the pandemic, floods and closures!"
"The reaction has been great and I've had lots of lovely comments. The welcome since I opened last week has been wonderful, especially neighbours and independents on Wyle Cop.
"This is such a perfect location to be in. My immediate neighbour is Halon Menswear, and we seem to compliment each other nicely. The gents go next door and the ladies come to me, so everyone’s happy!"
Teresa even has a fashion show coming up in October to show off her autumn and winter collection.
It takes place on October 16 at 12.30pm at the Albright Hussey Manor Hotel, with lunch and a glass of fizz for £26.
"It’s usually a very popular affair, with a raffle supporting our chosen charity Climbing Out," said Teresa. "We host two fashion shows every year and they’re certainly a highlight of our calendar."
