Approaching Its 20th Year in Business, Maine Women's Boutique Bliss Celebrates the Opening of a New Store in Kennebunk and a Move in Portland
With two brick-and-mortar locations--in Portland, Maine, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire--Bliss will open a third location in Kennebunk, Maine at 184 Port Road on July 16 and will move its Portland storefront to a new location in the Old Port later this year.
KENNEBUNK and PORTLAND, Maine, July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For decades, Bliss has been helping women find the most comfortable, high-quality, elevated everyday essentials for their wardrobes. Known as one of New England's most sought-after shopping destinations, Bliss carries premium brands like CP Shades, Frank & Eileen, Xirena, Trovata, Prairie Underground, Épice, Demylee, Citizens of Humanity, Mother Denim and more.
Bliss has been recognized by regional and national publications like New Hampshire Home magazine and RACKED for being one of the best boutiques in New England and was named one of the best boutiques in the country by ELLE. After one of the most challenging years for small businesses, they adapted, worked together, and have come out the other side stronger and more optimistic for brighter days ahead. As Bliss approaches its 20th year in business, they are thrilled and ready to share some exciting, positive changes happening throughout the summer.
With two brick-and-mortar locations—in Portland, Maine, and Portsmouth, New Hampshire—Bliss will open a third location in Kennebunk, Maine at 184 Port Road on July 16, just in time for the height of summer. "We've had our eyes on the vibrant Kennebunk community for a while now—and we can't wait to call it our third home. This new location will carry many of the same brands that our Portland and Portsmouth stores are known for, but you can expect some new Kennebunk-only lines too, which we're excited to announce soon," says Bliss owner Angela Foddrill. The Kennebunk store will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 am - 6 pm and Sunday 11 am to 6 pm. "All of our stores, including this one, will continue to follow all Covid-19 guidelines and regulations as they evolve to keep you and our staff safe."
In addition, the Bliss Portland location will be moving later this year just a few doors down from 58 Exchange Street to 42 Exchange Street, the former home of its sister store, Little, which is currently in the process of relocating to a new space in the Old Port. "There are so many reasons why this is the right move for us, but the biggest was creating a better shopping experience for our customers," says Foddrill. "We are in the process of renovating this space to make it perfect for Bliss and make sure it's as comfortable and inviting as possible."
In addition to these exciting changes for their stores, the Bliss brand has also undergone a brand refresh to reflect the brand's evolution through the years. "We worked extremely hard over the last eight months to better understand our brand, our customers, and what makes the Bliss experience unique and valuable. We were ready for a visual change that better reflects who Bliss is and what we offer," says Foddrill.
"It's been a privilege getting to know our customers over the last two decades, helping them build wardrobes that make them feel stylish and comfortable. We feel honored to be a part of the small and mighty community of local business owners, and fortunate to weather the storm brought on by the pandemic. We have our loyal customers to thank for that. As our brick-and-mortar and online businesses grow, we look forward to continuing to help women elevate their every day."
