DOWNTOWN STORE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS:
(Posted March 22, 2015)
After 8 impressive and influential years, Carla Ruff has announced the difficult decision to close her popular boutique, For You! This week, Carla begins an unprecedented and huge Going out of Business Sale
to aptly celebrate her store’s many years of devoted service to Enid and to her customers.
For You! has been an outstanding contemporary apparel mainstay in the Downtown Enid Square, distinctively serving ladies with the best of style, service, and affordable fashion in a warm, relaxed shopping atmosphere.
10 years ago, Carla was frustrated that real women up to size 16 could not find updated fashion in Enid that fit and looked attractive without feeling they were “poured into” a skimpy junior look. She hand-selected inventory for this underserved niche and opened For You! on West Randolph Avenue in November of 2006.
As the years flew by, Carla pursued lines that were right for her store and for her customers, including Brighton, Silver Jeans, Caite, Tribal, Dylan, Luii, Linea Domani and other great modern missy lines. For You! represented exactly what Carla’s clientele wanted in clothing that fit and was flattering. Add the skill and care of her staff, and For You! soon became an Enid legend.
Now, after over 8 years of carefully selecting the best apparel and creatively serving her customers, Carla’s new goals are to enjoy her grandchildren while they are young, and to enjoy her life a bit, as well.
Carla’s sale will begin by private invitation on March 24th and be open to the general public beginning March 25th.
