Thanks! Year in Review; Exciting 2015 Opportunities Await

Gwen Fletcher and her loved ones at Renee's

Dear Friends,

As we say goodbye to 2014, we look back with pride at the successful events and exciting new collections we brought to you this year. It's been a fantastic year! Your enthusiastic response was so appreciated. THANK YOU for contributing to our progress. Your generosity is overwhelming, and humbling. We are grateful.

2015 holds another year of fashion excitement, travel, and hard work. I am grateful I get a chance to do it all over again, and more, in the coming year. Please come along with us, and invite your friends, too.

Shopping in my favorite position, on the floor

I will continue to search the marketplace, while keeping you in mind, for unique, high quality, USA-made apparel and accessories that you'll love to wear. Of course I'll be looking for value, remembering that quality tops quantity every time. You have entrusted me with the honor of choosing your wardrobe for you, and I embrace the challenge.

Take a look at a few more photos of women just like you shopping at Renee's during the past year...

Sandra Classen is in retail sales at Lamps Plus.

Lynne Swanson is a teacher.

Tammy McLendon has a massage practice at Peak Fitness.

Robin Cooley owns a swim shop, Got Gear, in Snohomish.

Andrea Moore loves vintage apparel.

Looking ahead, are you aware of the award-winning new developments going on downtown Everett? New hotels, including a Hampton Inn and a Courtyard by Marriott hotel, more housing units, and a year-round Farmers' Market and Food Hub and more will contribute to a more vibrant downtown. Word on the street is a new bicycle shop on Colby is in the works, too. We look forward to the contributions this growth and more will make to the entire Everett community.

A new Hampton Inn rises above downtown Everett's skyline.

At Renee's, we are excited about our plans for one of our BEST spring and summer seasons ever. New lines, special events, and more online presence are in the works. If you haven't already, please take a few moments to leave us a review here: Yelp, Google, or Facebook. Your referral is our greatest compliment.

Happy New Year from Renee and Marlene

Thanks again. I wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy new year!

With love,

Renee
