Vlana Vlee, a downtown Fargo retail boutique that sells women’s apparel, gifts, baby items, home furnishings and a design studio, is closing.
Vlana Vlee
The shop opened at 102 Broadway two years ago. Owner Julie Smith said the closing has more to do with personal considerations than business challenges. She closed her Bismarck Vlana Vlee store in January.
The store will be open on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for no more than two months and will offer discounted merchandise.
Check back on inforum.com and in The Forum tomorrow where business reporter Marino Eccher will have more information on the shop’s closing and what’s in the works to take its place.
So sad to hear this! I always enjoyed shopping at Vlana Vlee. Coudln’t do it all that often due to prices but when I did, it was such a treat!
Sad to see a unique store close, yet I think a lot of their merchandise was way over priced and it was a very unhappy atmosphere to shop in that store. I was saddened when I heard the Red Shoe was to move in to the sam store. I knew Vlana Vlee was dumbed for failure when the bismarck store closed. Sorry to see it go again yet not at the same time.
