(Ambridge, PA) Little Bear and Bean Boutique will celebrate the grand opening of its first storefront on Saturday, May 30, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 1221 Merchant Street, Ambridge.

Owned by Ambridge Area High School graduate Kari Kleemook Gregory, the boutique spent more than seven years building an online customer base before expanding into a permanent retail location in Ambridge. 

During that time, the business shipped products to customers in all 50 states and four additional countries, growing from a small online venture into an internationally supported business rooted in Beaver County. 

The boutique offers women’s and children’s clothing, including custom-made items, sensory-friendly fabrics and specialty styles. 

According to the business, products include children’s apparel, matching “mommy and me” outfits and Judy Blue denim. 

The grand opening event is free and open to the public.
