A new retail store has opened its doors at Plaza Fountainside, owned and operated by Fountain Hills resident Debbie Olson.
Elite Repeat is a boutique retail store selling gently-used women’s clothing, furniture, artwork, shoes, jewelry and more.
As a 501c(3) organization, Elite Repeat is dedicated to supporting Fountain Hills charities. Olson says all her hours are volunteer hours and hopes to support such organizations like the Extended Hands Food Bank, Fountain Hills Sister Cities, Kiwanis Club and the Fountain Hills School District.
“We have small items starting at two dollars,” Olson said, who hopes to keep prices reasonable at her store.
Olson and her sister Marcia Kadinger once owned an antique store in Wisconsin more than a decade ago. Olson wanted to get back into retail with a goal of supporting the community.
“The name (Elite Repeat) actually was something my sister came up with,” Olson said. “I am all about giving to charities, and I love doing things for others.”
While the store caters to women, Olson says there are chairs for men to sit in.
“I had two men tell me that if you have chairs, we’ll bring our wives,” Olson said.
As Olson’s new venture begins, she is starting with limited store hours as she generates inventory.
Elite Repeat accepts gently used items in women’s clothing and accessories, art, books, crystal, China and more.
Elite Repeat is currently open Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. or by appointment.
Elite Repeat is located at 12645 N. Saguaro Blvd., Suite 116.
