Maurices’ employees are setting up for their grand opening in the LloydMall on Nov. 18.
A new clothing store is preparing to open its doors just in time for the holiday season.
Maurices, located in the LloydMall, will offer size-inclusive clothing for women and girls.
“We’ve got sizes from 0-24. We have fun with fashion. When you walk into a maurices store—everything from the music that’s playing to the décor and the esthetics alongside all this great fashion,” said Carly Turford, maurices Canada district leader.
“We just want to make fashion fun. We really do believe that a great outfit can change your day, can change your mood, and can help you put that best foot forward.”
The grand opening is set for Nov. 18, and about 20 employees have been working hard to prepare for the big day.
Turford said the decision to open the Lloydminster location wasn’t a tough one at all.
“In the last year and a half, we stretched our footprint into Alberta, opening up our Grande Prairie and Sherwood Park locations, and Lloydminster was just an easy next fit for our community drive and what we look for,” said Turford.
“Getting out to visit it myself and getting to meet some of the locals from restaurants to hotels and things like that, it was in line with the values of what we wanted to show up in our community store.”
LloydMall marketing coordinator Janelle Owens says they are pleased to welcome the new tenant.
“We are extremely excited to introduce maurices to LloydMall shoppers,” said Owens.
“We are positive they will provide great service to our loyal shoppers, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in bringing more options to LloydMall.”
The ‘tween’ section of the store is something that not all maurices locations have.
“We don’t carry our tween line, evsie, at every location, so pretty special for Lloydminster,” said Turford, adding they carry girls’ sizes 7-14.
“It’s really for those maurices up and coming shoppers, that can shop with mom, dad, grandma, and it’s kind of the best of both worlds when you come in.”
Turford said they are proud of the versatility they offer shoppers, and they can’t wait to show Lloydminster what they have in store.
“We carry really strong stuff in our basics, but then we’ve got these really cool and funky trend pieces as well as a really strong value price point that I just think we hit the mark with,” said Turford. “We couldn’t ask for anything better. We’re super excited to just have the best Black Friday and really just get to know the community.”
