Renee's Clothing, a cherished establishment in downtown Everett since 1994, is officially closing its doors as owners Sharon Sanford and Sue Nemo shift their focus to Laurie’s Boutique in Stanwood. The sisters, who took over the store six years ago, announced their decision to consolidate their efforts and introduce a new extension called The Back Door at Laurie’s. This extension will showcase popular brands like Silver, mododoc, and Velvet Heart, ensuring that loyal customers can still access their favorite contemporary clothing styles. To mark the transition, a "moving on" sale will take place from July to mid-August, providing significant discounts on all inventory and store fixtures. The sisters expressed heartfelt appreciation for the community's support throughout their tenure, emphasizing their commitment to continuing their passion for quality clothing in a new location.

Customers are encouraged to check out The Back Door once it opens, promising a similar shopping experience to what they enjoyed at Renee’s. This change reflects a broader trend of local businesses adapting to market demands while maintaining their core values. As the sisters embark on this new chapter, they hope to retain the loyalty of their Everett customers while expanding their reach in Stanwood.
