Discover More About Glendora Village at Saturday Business Expos


Saturdays are perfect for strolling and shopping The Avenue of Glendora Village.
There’s the weekly Glendora Village Organic Farmers Market, where you can buy fresh-from-the- arm produce, gift items, snacks and more. It’s located in the Village Plaza parking lot, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Nearby, you can learn more about Village offerings at the weekly Business Expo in the Village Plaza. Each week, a variety of business owners man information tables to tell visitors about their companies.
Spotlight businesses this week include:
Bobbi Pins, 201 N. Glendora Ave., #300, (626) 914-4709: Everyone in the family can get their hair cut, styled or colored at Bobbi Pins, an exclusive Enjoy products salon.
Color services include mini-, partial, 3/4 and full weaves, retouches and color correction consultations, as well as all-over color.
Styling includes intensive restructuring treatments, maintenance, perms and formal styling.
You can also get a make-up consultation to freshen up your look.
Namedroppers, 139 N. Glendora Ave., (626) 963-3668: Open since 1991, this boutique redefines “eclectic” with offerings of women’s clothing and accessories, jewelry, men’s accessories, home decor, holiday decorations, and many unique European products you won’t find anywhere.

Owner Lynn Allen takes pride in offering “possibly something for everyone,” and if you love Paris like she does, there are plenty of items celebrating the City of Light.
We guarantee if you go to Namedroppers to buy a gift for someone, you’ll find a gift for yourself, too.

Formal dresses, cocktail dresses, business apparel, shoes, purses, fur coats and more are featured. Customers can get last year’s (or sometimes even this year’s) best ilooks for significantly lower prices than what they would pay for the same thing new. 
Clean out your own closet to sell lightly used items on consignment for the highest return possible.

Envy Me Fashions, 146 N. Glendora Ave. Suite 102, (626) 963-8200: When Krista Lucas became owner of the then-named NV Me fashion boutique in November 2012, she changed the name to Envy Me.
Asking “don't you want your friends to ENVY you?” Lucas and crew help customers pair the perfect outfits to special events or define their everyday style.

Though the store had a loyal clientele of shoppers, Lucas expanded the boutique’s offerings of clothing, jewelry and accessories to attract teen-age and college-age shoppers, while keeping an eye out for fashion bargains.  
“I’ve always loved following all the fashion trends,” Lucas explained. “I really love making people feel good about themselves.”
