Gigi's boutique is celebrating seven years!

Fall 2010 marked the beginning when Gigi opened her first shop in a quaint little space in an alley way off of Main st. in downtown Belmont.

Grace, is the mother of eight children, five who are now grown women, and three sons with beautiful wives. Grace spent time as a young woman in fashion and modeling, yet sacrificed all of that for a time to be home and raise her children.

She was then encouraged by each of her children to chase her dreams once again, thus bringing about GiGi's Boutique. The opening of this shop has been a family effort from not only her children, but also her husband, brother and sister in law. Inspiration for the store name comes from her 12 grandchildren that affectionately know her as their GiGi.

Being the mother of a large family, she had to be creative and budget minded as she always wanted her children to look their finest. This is where she learned the value of consignment. She was able to resell clothing that was in great condition and use the money she made from consigning to update each child's wardrobe throughout their time at home, while teaching her children valuable lessons along the way.

Gigi's Boutique was a success and quickly moved to a larger store front around the corner at 24 N. Main st. after just one year in the fall of 2011. Gigi's heartfelt business model and personal touch she delivers to each customer in the store has kept faithful shoppers over the years. Her continued success lead to expanding their current storefront to almost double the size in fall 2013! 

Her passion for fine things and the teachings she instilled in her daughters of their beauty and worth has never changed, and her hope is to bring that same feeling of worth and beauty to each lady that enters her store.

Grace's daughter Jessica, who shares many of the same passions works alongside her at the store. This past summer of 2017, Jessica brought Gigi's to ecommerce with www.gigisboutique-nc.com, which features many of their boutique items and select luxury consignments items. 

Come to our event Thursday Oct. 17th from 4pm to 7pm to celebrate with Gigi, Jessica, and the rest of the cew! We will have snacks, featured specials, scratch off discounts, and a prize winner drawing.
