BY MAUREEN WERTHER<\/p>\n

Elephant’s Trunk, a baby and children’s boutique,
\nwill open its doors for business at 206 Glen St. in
\nGlens Falls in early October.
\nOwner Katie Sullivan will offer a selection
\nof clothing, gifts, books, educational toys, and
\nreligious items.<\/p>\n

She said customers will be able to shop and
\nbrowse with their children for items ranging in
\nsize from Newborn to 5T in styles unavailable in
\na “big box” store. Sullivan noted she is conscious
\nof the budget considerations of young families and
\nher price points reflect that awareness.<\/p>\n

Her goal, he said, is to make Elephant’s Trunk
\na “family friendly” store. She plans to offer weekly
\ncoffee “meet ups” for moms to congregate and hear
\nabout pertinent parenting and childhood wellness
\ntopics such as breast-feeding, vaccination issues,
\nand early childhood education. Sullivan is also
\nexcited about meeting new people and becoming
\nan involved and active member of her community.
\nGrowing up on Long Island as the second of
\nseven children, she recalled how her stay-at-home
\nmom dreamed of opening a children’s clothing
\nstore. Sullivan’s husband is from Fort Edward and
\nthe two met as students at Hartwick College. After
\ngraduation, they married and settled in Glens Falls,
\nwhere they are raising two daughters, ages 1 and 3.
\n“I was my mother’s first daughter and I wanted to
\ntake on her dream to open this store,” said Sullivan.
\nShe has worked in retail growing up and during
\nschool. It is her first foray into the retail world as
\nstore owner.<\/p>\n

She said her mother was a huge help in making
\nthe dream a reality. Sullivan said she learned a great
\ndeal about business and operations from her father,
\nan attorney in Long Island.<\/p>\n

The layout of Elephant’s Trunk includes a
\nchildren’s play area located in the rear of the
\nstore, where kids can have fun while moms shop.
\nThere will also be an area for changing a diaper
\nor feeding a baby.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been downtown and forgotten to pack an
\nextra diaper or wipes,” she said. “Any mom who
\nfinds herself in that fix can come into the store and
\nI’ll give them a diaper or wipes and they know they’ll
\nhave a clean and inviting place to feed their baby.”
\nElephant’s Trunk website is still in development;
\nhowever, a Facebook page is up and running.
\nElephant’s Trunk can be reached at 955-5035.<\/p>\n
