We're the heart behind Chic

That's me, Lori, and my daughter Kara sitting on the stairs at our historic 1843 mill.

I started this business to feed my home decor shopping habit and now it supports our growing team of 8+ members!

I'm so delighted to invite you to visit us and see what we've been hunting down! We bring new items into the shop EVERY week!

Did you know that we've been at the historic mill Did you know that we've been at the historic mill in downtown Almont for seven years? Did you know that's the longest time we've ever stayed in a place? For Lori, that's crazy πŸ€ͺ She started this business when I was 16. She rented a little spot in downtown Lake Orion. Then she got a bigger place. Bounced around a couple different spots in downtown Oxford, then went to Leonard, and then landed in Almontβ€” Our very favorite spot by far. About a year and a half ago, we bought (what we call) the Grainery in Imlay City. It's actually a grain mill but we already have a mill, so we decided to name it the Grainery, which isn't even a real word. We started out doing seasonal vendor markets, and then monthly ones. But our vision for this place, from the beginning, was for it to be an event space. An extension of our business; not necessarily another store. The monthly markets there just kind of happened and partly because Ms. Lori can't sit stillβ€” She likes to start new ventures. But turns out, having two stores is kind of insane for us right now and we've realized we need to get back to the basics... The Grainery is going to be what we set out for it to be: An event space. Each month we'll have something fun going on there during our monthly markets at the Mill. We already have the next few months lined up and we're so excited to share more details with you. For April, we're finalizing all the details for a dessert and wine tasting🍷πŸͺ In May, we'll have an embroidery class πŸͺ‘ In June, yoga with mimosas πŸ₯‚ We have a LOT of fun things in the works for you and we're so excited about our official event space. We want to make sure we're always serving you the best we can and we weren't doing that. We've been spreading ourselves too thin having two stores going. Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew and have to take a step back to realize it. So THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts, for always sticking around with us. Even when we're confusing you, like we probably are right now πŸ˜…πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Thank you for supporting our family and our small business. We appreciate you and look forward to all the events at this amazing building going forward. πŸ’œ Lori & Kara

The look you get when you show up to work matching The look you get when you show up to work matching your mom... And in an Ozzy Osbourne shirt, nonetheless πŸ™ƒ We bought these from a man in a 711 parking lot before going to see Ozzy a few years ago πŸ˜† and if you know us in real life, you know we had to bring these tees (swipe to see) into the shop. We've expanded our clothing boutique area upstairs and these are the newest pieces we've added! I, for one, am thrilled that concert tees are in style these days.

When it comes to styling at the Mill, no one does When it comes to styling at the Mill, no one does it better than Lori πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ She thoughtfully curates every area of our building.
