As the saying goes, “When you retire you find yourself busier than ever.”
This sentiment rings true for Bonnie Carere of Bonita Boutique. Having retired five years ago from Carere Flooring and Windows, Bonnie embarked on a new venture by opening her Bonita Boutique Consignment Store.
Having the retail space available from the flooring store, it made sense to operate at the same location: 61 Wood St. Drayton. She has enjoyed her experience in serving the community by providing quality new and used consignment clothing.
The Careres’ involvement with The Father’s Heart Healing Ministries and Sozo Ministry in Arthur (as well as other church-related activities) has become a growing passion for both and over the past two years they have found themselves becoming busier and busier. The Careres have found that at this point in their lives they must make a transition.
“At this time I want to thank everyone for supporting Bonita Boutique. I have enjoyed every minute of it and the time spent with my customers. We are very excited about moving on to a new thing in Arthur. Who said retirement can’t be fun!” states Bonnie.
Bonita Boutique will officially close its doors at the end of August, but in the meantime all merchandise will be on clearance sale. From that point on the current retail space will be available for lease as of Sept. 1, and can be viewed at anytime by calling Frank or Bonnie at 519-638-5155 or 519-500-9684. Be sure to drop by Bonita Boutique, 61 Wood St. Drayton to wish the Careres well and perhaps pick up a bargain or two at the same time. Store hours are Tues. to Fri. 10am-5pm and Sat. 10am-2pm.
