Despite recent closures of brick and mortar locations in the river city, Pretty Pieces boutique will open a new and larger location on the Southside of Jacksonville. Nicole Banks, owner and outfit architect, is motivated by the growth she’s seen in Jacksonville. “ There’s a new energy brewing. As a native, it’s important to me to be apart of the economic growth here by having a showroom in my hometown”, said Nicole. Banks is no stranger to having faith through challenges. As an ovarian cancer survivor, she created Pretty Pieces out of a need for a distraction during a difficult time. “ I could have allowed my circumstances to control my outlook, but instead I turned pain into purpose”, said Nicole.
Moving from two previous locations in the Arlington area, Nicole is excited for what the additional space will mean for her local clientele. “My clients are my priority, no matter what city they are in. But I’m excited to be able to accommodate my local customers in a bigger space”. Nicole plans to open the shop up for special events like book and product launches, small brand launches and pop up shops. “Supporting the growth of Jacksonville, includes partnering with other small business owners, entrepreneurs and creators. With this space, I can do it my way” , said Banks. With a focus on providing a luxury product at an affordable cost, the grand opening will feature a tasting experience by growing spirits brand, Quietstorm Ultra Premium Vodka. Quietstorm offers originality through artistic blends, arranging unique combinations that are mostly uncommon, similar to “pretty pieces” found in the boutique.
The grand opening event will take place on October 19th, 2-6 pm. The new boutique is located on the Southside service road on the intersection of Southside and Atlantic Boulevard. The boutique address is 1706-3 Southside Service Road, Jacksonville, Florida. The event will begin with the ribbon cutting and transition to mingling and private tasting in the new showroom.
