A New England sibling duo is expanding a franchise to Chester County. The women-oriented fashion boutique Bobbles and Lace has nine brick-and-mortar stores, writes Bill Rettew for The Daily Local News.

 Co-owner Crystal Gambardella was inspired to open a new location in West Chester after hearing about the beloved town through her sister-in-law from Berwyn. The 1,000 square foot shop in Chester County will occupy the former Kiki’s property.  

The boutique offers an array of apparel, including clothing, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories. Store staff are the customers’ stylists and bring shoes or jewelry into the fitting rooms for shoppers to try on.  

The store will be open every day of the week, from 10 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Saturday and 10 to 5 PM on Sundays.  

Gambardella, who runs the store with her brother Hunter Gordon, has also been involved in the business industry for several years. Founded by Lindsay Rando in 2008, the boutique franchised in 2022 to expand its brand across the country and make business ownership accessible to women.
