Lollipop Kids Children's Resale Shop
Shelby-Utica fashion boutiques offer great new styles and accessories every week. Check back every Friday for the latest in tops, bottoms, bags, accessories and more.
This week, Shelby-Utica Patch's Fashion Friday visited Lollipop Kids Children's Resale Boutique on Schoenherr Road. The store has been open for just more than a year.
The boutique is owned by Pam and Teara Zakalowski, a mother-daughter duo who decided to open the shop after the troubled economy took its toll. Teara Zakalowski worked in retail for almost 15 years, so the two thought it fitting to open a clothing store.
They figured a children's clothing store was a perfect fit because Teara Zakalowski has a two and a half year old daughter. They often use her as a model for the store.
