Times are changing in downtown Kelowna.

After 20 years in business in downtown Kelowna, Regan Hall is closing the brick-and-mortar portion of its Beach Ave. business as it moves fully online.

“It is with great gratitude that I say ‘ciao bella’ to the downtown Kelowna community. It has been my great privilege to dress you for holiday events, date nights, adventure vacations, festivals, birthdays and bachelorette parties and my favorites… for no reason!

The Beach Ave. store, formerly known as Blonde, is closing its doors, though Hall says he intends to continue selling his wares online. The last day to shop in person will be August 24, 2022.

“To my amazing customers, thank you so much for all the shopping and hilarious stories! To all the people I hired, please accept my deepest thanks for being true muses and sharing your time and light in the space. I love watching you become friends, roommates and an eternal support system,” says Hall.

Customers can enjoy sale prices of up to 30-80% off everything from now on as Hall begins to unload his inventory.

“The biggest compliment I ever got was, ‘Your store is an institution.’ I will miss playing dress up with all of you and cherish the memories,” says Hall.
