| One of the goals of the 2003 EDo Master Plan, with its 25-year time horizon, was to bring most or all of life’s daily needs within walking distance of EDo residents, workers, and visitors. Let’s welcome Glowing, a maternity and baby boutique, to EDo at 600 Central SE. We caught up with co-owner Faith Begay-Holtrop recently for a few questions. While we were in the store for 15 minutes, she took a phone order from Europe for a local gift, chatted with her retail neighbor from Two Time Couture, and had two walk-ins — one for a baby shower gift, and one seeking a few things for her son’s coming baby. Tell us about your business We specialize in comfortable but stylish maternity and baby clothing, gifts, strollers and furniture. We offer products that can’t be found at the chains. We’re a 5-year-old business, under new ownership. We moved to EDo 5/1/09 after being Downtown at Gold & 4th. Why EDo? EDo provides us with more visibility, easier access and better parking. The retailers here at 600 Central — Two Time Couture, Waves, and The Grove especially — bring tenants to our building and to EDo that work in our favor. We are getting more traffic here in EDo and we feel very good about the move. You have a Co-Owner, right? Sara Cook and I have known each other since middle school, and we are basically natives of Albuquerque. Both of us are mothers with two children, and both of us left traditional jobs to run our own business. We love it! What else would you like to see in EDo? 1) A small grocery store. 2) More retailers that would work in our favor, and us in their’s, and would bring in more visitors from Santa Fe and elsewhere. |
