My Friend’s Place boutique to close after 43 years
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – After 43 years of business, My Friend’s Place is closing up shop in February.
The locally-owned women’s boutique has for years been the go-to shop for women looking for everything from unique styles to upscale classics, carrying many brands over its 43 years that no other store in Bowing Green sold.
The Scottsville Road store was at one time located inside Greenwood Mall.
In a post on the store’s Facebook page, the writer of the post asks readers to go out and shop local.
“Unfortunately, we feel like online shopping has become the norm, and people don’t appreciate the one-on-one interaction that you receive when shopping at a brick and mortar,” the post reads. “We know that God has big plans for our future and we can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2020. So we are saying goodbye to a chapter and beginning a new one.
“If I could ask one thing to everyone reading this, it would be today go out and shop somewhere local, repost a story, tell a friend where you love to shop locally and why. Supporting our local businesses is critical. We must keep our dollars within this community or we won’t be the only business closing it’s doors,” the post reads.
