"Several times a week people come in and tell me that opening this
store is big service to the community. They don't want to spend the time
or the money to travel (to similar clothing stores in Lakewood or
Brooklyn) and they can't find shells and/or long enough skirts in the
"regular" stores.
"One of the nice things is that although
this is a relatively small store, I try to have something for everyone
and I have had, on more than one occasion, four generations of a family
each get something in the store. Admittedly, having four generations
visit the store is not common; it is common, though, for a
mother and daughter to buy at the store. And both intergenerational
situations are very gratifying to see."@ Covered Girl Clothing, 235 Raritan Ave., Highland Park, New Jersey
