After working at Nordstrom, Sarah Garlich decided to venture out and realize her dream of opening her own store.

Cha Boutique in Ladue, Missouri is a blend of Classy-Hip-Apparel.

In this video, Sarah offers some advice for opening a store including:

Find a space you love and want to walk into every day.

Find a space with little build out necessary to keep costs down at first.

Get into an area with other established retailers to help drive new traffic to your store.

Consider hiring a consultant to help you make your dreams a reality.
