Q: Who are you and when did you open the store?
A: My name is Kathy Pincksten and I opened
Merci in May 2013 when the perfect building came along.
Q: What makes your store unique?
A: Merci has something to offer for everyone from babies, children and toddlers to adults with jewelry, decor, lotions, and even gifts for dads. My grandchildren were somewhat of an inspiration for the children's clothing though.
Q: Why did you choose to locate your store in downtown Cape?
A: The Julius Vasterling building on the corner of Broadway and Sprigg has been home to a variety of stores over the decades - a dry goods store, saloon, billiards hall, meat market, electric supply company, restaurant, cafe, and home appliance store - but we wanted to introduce something new to this building - a boutique! Kathy said" I love being in the downtown area and I love being able to shop around town and eat at the local cafe's for lunch. It's so quaint."
