New children's fashion store
A new fashion store for children has opened its doors in Ettalong Beach.
Agapi Mou meaning "my darling" in Greek, began trading on September 11 and provides clothing and accessories for girls and boys to 14 years.
Business owner Ms Helen Dahbache of Umina said her love to shop for five-year-old daughter Renae led her to opening a children's retail outlet.
"As a mother I felt that the area needed a children's clothing store offering unique pieces of clothing and accessories not found at the larger retail stores," Ms Dahbache said.
"We are trying to cater for parents, grandparents or carers of children who want their kids to look good at affordable prices.
"We felt there was a need for this type of business in this area so we decided to make that happen."
Ms Dahbache moved to the Peninsula with her family six years ago after holidaying in the area as a child since 1974.
"My family and I enjoy living on the Peninsula, and now that we are working in the area I feel that we can contribute back to the community by offering old fashion service.
"We couldn't be happier."
