ALEXANDRIA — Creative Touch Boutique held a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, May 17 to celebrate the start of its build at a future location of Fifth Avenue and Broadway in historic downtown Alexandria.
Members of the City of Alexandria, Alexandria Chamber of Commerce board of directors, Ambassadors, and Membership Team, business representatives working on the project, CTB owners and staff, and community members were in attendance to help celebrate.
Creative Touch Boutique is a retail store offering a variety of women’s clothing, home décor, baby, and children’s items. CTB’s future location will feature a three-story building with the retail space being on the main level, the second floor will offer product storage, staff space, and photo studio, and the third floor will have office space and conference rooms available for rent.
The lot previously housed several businesses, including Raapers, a restaurant. Raapers, along with five other businesses, were all lost after a devastating fire tore through that part of the downtown area in February 2020.
Groundbreakings are a service offered by the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce. To learn more, email info@alexandriamn.org or call 320-763-3161.
