Special September Story Find - Finally, an affordable, classy women's dress shop


In Mocksville today, I found a new women's clothing store. The owner was a buyer for Montaldo's. Now, if that means something to you - read on. If you're too young to know the significance of Montaldo's to an upscale woman's wardrobe, then I invite you to find out.

Gina Frank worked at Montaldo's in Winston-Salem. Like all the other buyers for that exclusive chain, Gina stayed on top of trends, fabrics, styles, colors and knew how to match clothing to the store's customers.

Now, she does the same thing at her own shop, Gianna's Boutique. I watched her with customers today. Gianna's is located at 562 Valley Road in Mocksville. It's on the short bypass, US 64, around town, between the pizza joint and the stop light where you turn to go to I-40.

Her shop is in a small strip mall which includes specialists for massage, nails and facials. Take a friend and combine a trip to all those places with lunch at either Starr's Restaurant in downtown Mocksville or the Ketchie Bakery - where both facilities have wonderful made-from-scratch food. I think it would make a good story about the gal's day out. For more information, call the Davie County Chamber of Commerce at 336-751-3304 or email chamber@daviecounty.com.
