The opportunity was there, and it was one Michelle Voit couldn’t pass up. It all started with a blank slate, and the wheels officially started turning last November when she signed the lease.
This local store owner felt a little bit of deja vu. The new location was unclaimed territory, just like the block on Elmwood was back in 2014 when they opened their first location in the Village. Fast forward almost a year later, and the second Village Designs location is open for business and it’s absolutely gorgeous.
In the local business world, brand loyalty is honored and respected. So when there’s a new location in play, that means an opportunity to bring in completely new brands and new-to-the-area brands.Â
