New women’s fashion boutique officially opens in Amherstburg

Mayor Michael Prue and Linda’s Fashions & Accessories owner Linda Innes were joined by supporters at the business’ ribbon cutting at its 219 Dalhousie St. location last Monday afternoon.

A new women’s fashion and accessory boutique has officially opened in Amherstburg.

A ribbon cutting was held last Monday afternoon at the site of Linda’s Fashions & Accessories. The store features numerous brands of ladies’ clothes as well as accessories for women.

Linda Innes, owner of Linda’s Fashion & Accessories, said the Amherstburg location is now her second store. Her first location is still operating at 2492 Dougall Ave. in Windsor.

“It will be 25 years for that store in September,” she said.

Innes started her business from her home three years prior to that, she noted.

“It’s been very successful,” said Innes. “I’ve been in the clothing business for 28 years.”

Innes noted her family has lived in River Canard for 40 years so she is familiar with the Amherstburg area. When she decided to open a second store, the new one having the signage “Linda’s In Town” in the front, she looked at Amherstburg. After teaming with local realtor John D’Alimonte, she found her new location.

“I think the location is awesome,” said Innes. “I was hearing some positive things about Amherstburg. When this location became available, I couldn’t be happier.”

Staff, her landlords in Amherstburg and Windsor, customers and family helped celebrate the opening of the new Amherstburg store, with Innes offering her thanks to all.

The business is located at 219 Dalhousie St., at the corner of Rankin St. Hours will fluctuate, Innes stated, but her current plans are to be open from Tuesday-Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Mayor Michael Prue officially cut the ribbon but not before he praised the “strength and courage” to open up. Prue told the audience assembled that the “town is growing rapidly” and “a lot of people are saying this is the place to be.”
