After five years in the making as a favorite gift shop and little girls' party spot in west Dearborn,
Sophia's Giftique has opened a second location, this one in Detroit.
The New Center store inside the office building on West Grand Boulevard and Woodward will offer a similar mix of personal and home accessories, gifts and holiday items as well as its speciality products, Simply Victoria, a handmade greeting card line designed by the mother of one owner, and B3 (Bath, Body, Beauty) which was created by the sister of that store owner.
The store offers free gift wrapping and host private princess parties, tea parties and is frequently the site of charity events.
Sophia's owners see the shop becoming a stop in a series of retail and eating establishments that line the walkways through the New Center that's connected to The Fisher, Cadillac Place and St. Regis Hotel.
