One of Lansing’s most popular boutiques has a slightly new look. Summer Schriner, owner of Old Town’s Grace, recently upgraded the store’s exterior and façade.
“We’re really just repainting and replacing the trim that needed to be replaced and freshening up the front and having signs made,” she says, adding that the store was in need of an update.
A couple of years ago, Schriner received a façade grant, which often encourages small business owners to beatify building exteriors. However, her latest update was done out of pocket.
Schriner is also updating her website.
“I guess I’m at a point where I kind of want everything to be redone,” says Schriner, who opened her business three years ago. “We’ve grown every year; it’s been really wonderful.”
