Franchise Owner
Here is a shot of Holly, me and Gretch at the Matt Nathanson concert for my Birthday!
Holly Cottrell is the new Franchise Owner of the Urbandale Pink Hippo. Gretchen and I and the production girls are getting ready to move into our new facility. We should be there by December 15th. More details coming soon. We still take custom orders! Holly has been working for us for quite sometime and is very helpful in matching custom pieces. So keep those Holiday outfits coming!
I would like to say, we have built quite a personal relationship with many many of our loyal customers, and it is difficult to think about not seeing those familiar faces on a regular basis. Which is why we might give you the address of our new production studio when we get the papers finalized! Thanks for all of the great friendships this past year! You are an amazing group of women and your support means so much to us!
Much Love, Julie

Holy cow, are we in our busy season! We are smokin’ busy with the holidays around the corner! Our attorneys have finalized our franchising docs and we have presented them to our buyer for the IA store. We are planning on closing on the sale of Urbandale Nov. 17th. What this means is….Gretchen and I are relocating the The Pink Hippo production and distribution studio to another facility locally. You will still be shopping at the same awesome retail location in Urbandale, but it will be owned and operated by our new franchisees. We will still be roaming the halls for a few weeks as we finalize our new location. We are getting our Holiday line out a little late this year, but have been swamped with special orders. The stores are currently receiving the holiday products and we are updating the web site as well. Please visit us at Gift Mart in Des Moines November 20-22.
Our energy will be going to developing the new production studio as well as marketing our franchising opportunities. Please check back as we will be adding information to franchising link on our web site.
