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.
