The Rochelle Area Chamber of Commerce & Business Development and the City of Rochelle are pleased to announce the opening of Bella’s Girls Apparel, Accessories, & Gifts at 1161 N. 7th Street adjacent to the Sunrise Restaurant on Highway 251. The new retail boutique will open on Monday, December 17 at 10am. An official grand opening is being planned for January, 2013. Special holiday hours are 10am-7pm December 17 through 22.
The store is locally owned. “I love shopping for my four year old daughter Bella”, said Jeanette Ramirez. “I want our store to be a place where area residents shop instead of going out of town to purchase clothes and accessories for every little princess on their list”, she added.
The store will feature a variety of flower girl and party dresses, baptism outfits, jewelry, hair accessories, dance apparel, shower gifts, and shoes. After Christmas, hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm. Bella’s will be closed on Sunday and Monday. Ramirez can be reached at 815-561-6729.
“Capital investment in retail in Rochelle is continuing during a time when other communities are trying to find ways to revive their economies”, said Chamber Director/CEO Peggy Friday. I am happy to welcome Jeanette and her family into the chamber and pleased to be filling a commercial vacancy along the Northern Gateway of Rochelle.
