The times are changing in downtown Kelowna.

After 20 years in business in downtown Kelowna, Regan Hall is closing the bricks and mortar portion of her Beach Ave. business as she transitions to strictly online.

“It is with much gratitude that I say “ciao bella” to the downtown Kelowna community. It has been such a privilege to dress you for celebratory events, date nights, adventurous vacations, festivals, birthday and bachelorette parties, and my favourite…no reason at all!

Beach Ave. storefront, formerly known as Blonde is closing its doors, although Hall says she intends to continue selling her wares online. The last day to shop in person will be August 24, 2022.

“To my amazing customers, thank you so much for all the shopping, and the hilarious stories! To all the individuals I employed, please accept my deepest thanks for being the true muses, and sharing your time and light to the space. I have loved watching you become friends, roommates, and an ever-lasting support system,” says Hall.

Customers can enjoy sale prices of up to 30-80% off everything from now on as Hall starts to unload her inventory.

“The biggest compliment I ever received was ‘your store is an institution.’ I am going to miss playing dress-up with all ya’ll and I will cherish the memories,” Hall says.
