St. Paul, March 25, 2010 – Second Début2 will be a smaller version of its sister store, but will carry renewed fashion by the same well-known designers. The new store will spotlight accessories including handbags, shoes, and jewelry plus a handpicked selection of casual clothing.
Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota opened the first Second Début Store in the fall of 2005 in St. Louis Park. The boutique style shop with hardwood floors and chandeliers was a new concept for Goodwill. It quickly filled a need for fashion savvy yet frugal shoppers and became one of the premiere boutiques in the Twin Cities area.
The new Second Début2 store will follow in the same footsteps and offer an upscale shopping experience in the heart of St. Paul’s Midway neighborhood. Second Début2 is located at 1825 University Avenue (on the corner of University and Fairview Avenues), St. Paul, MN 55104 Click here to view a map.
