The original ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Cluttered Closet was scheduled for Dec. 10, but it was canceled due to the flooding the county was experiencing.
Owner Madison Horn has rescheduled the ribbon-cutting ceremony for noon Wednesday, Jan. 7, according to a news release from the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce.
The boutique is located at 529 N. Tower in Centralia, and the public is invited to attend.
After more than two years of sorting through a massive inventory, relocating and renovating, The Cluttered Closet Boutique is finally taking time to celebrate, the release stated.
Whim and opportunity came together when mother-daughter team Horn and Michele Cope were exploring the idea of launching a business.
The Cluttered Closet had originally operated as a tenant of Yard Birds before relocating to Centralia. In 2022, the former owner approached Horn and Cope about purchasing the shop, including thousands of items in storage.
“We cleared out 5,000 items in the store and another 10,000 items in storage,” Horn said.
Since then, the business has moved twice, each time upgrading to a larger space. The current North Tower location offers even more room to grow, according to the release.
Horn and Cope retained the shop’s signature pink décor and atmosphere while adding their own touches.
One of the first changes was renaming the business to The Cluttered Closet Boutique. The new slogan, “Wear the Best for Less,” reflects their mission to make quality fashion accessible, the release stated.
Today, customers will find work from 10 local artists, including jewelry, soap, body oils, skincare products, body scrubs, press-on nails and other handcrafted items.
Shoppers can expect a wide range of clothing and prices — from $2 T-shirts to $60 vintage and high-quality pieces. The boutique also offers weekend sales, monthly discounts and loyalty cards. Donations of clothing or accessories are also accepted; donors receive 30% off any purchase for two weeks.
“We clean everything,” added Horn.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony begins at noon on Jan. 7, with special sales running from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Ribbon-cutting ceremonies are hosted by the Centralia-Chehalis Chamber of Commerce to celebrate local business milestones including grand openings, expansions and new ownership. Chamber membership is not required to participate.
