Shena’s Place Uniforms and Boutique, a small business located in Elizabethtown, recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. The shop, owned by Melissa McKoy, offers nursing uniforms, accessories, hair and beauty products, clothing, and more. The store is named after McKoy’s daughter, Shena, who had a passion for clothing and fashion.
McKoy shared that opening Shena’s Place was a way to keep her daughter’s dream and memory alive. The goal of the store was originally to offer uniforms, but as the business grew, McKoy realized that her customers had a need for other items and decided to expand her inventory to better serve them. The response from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, with customers showing their support for the store.
However, owning and operating a business is not without its challenges. McKoy has faced difficult times where she has considered closing the store, but she has been fortunate to have a supportive customer base, a team of dedicated staff, and a network of praying people who have helped her to persevere. Despite the ups and downs of running a business, McKoy remains optimistic, saying “something is better than nothing, and I keep going.”
Supporting small businesses like Shena’s Place is crucial for the community, as these local businesses contribute to the community in a positive way. McKoy is committed to giving back to the community and has made donations to area fundraisers and charity events through the store. She also participates in random acts of kindness and hopes to inspire other minority women to become entrepreneurs.
