The Blues Jean Bar (with an 'S'!) opened it's doors in Greenwich in February, but now that the weather's nicer, they'll be officially kicking off with a grand opening party next Thursday, May 16.
"The way we work is a customer comes in and tells us their size, what wash and what fit they want, and we pull everything for them, then walk them through trying looks on, telling them what length it should be, what's working, what isn't," said manager and "jean-tender" Liz McKay.
They're located at 19 East Elm Street, but the store even offers shipment of product in "Express Boxes," that customers can try on at home, keep what they want and send back the rest, McKay said.
Started by owner Lady Fuller, of New Orleans, Greenwich's Blues Jean Bar is only the second East Coast store of the company's 16 locations across the nation.
Blues Jean Bar likes to work with charitable organizations as well, and McKay said she's always on the lookout for ways to contribute.
"We had an event here a few weeks ago for Relay for Life. 20-percent of our sales went to the American Cancer Society," McKay said. "For our grand opening party, 20-percent will go to the YWCA of Greenwich."
Blues Jean Bar carries a variety of styles for men and women, not just jeans, though they certainly have hose, too. The store also features locally-crafted jewelry and displays nearby artists works, currently exhibiting work from Art by Aga.
Blues Jean Bar is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sunday 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. You can visit them at BluesJeanBar.com to shop from home.
