Meet the Business Owner: Karen E.
I started Minglewood in May, 1999 as a special event production company. Festivals and events produced included The Blackhawk Farms Music Festival (1999 - 2002) and the Block 5 Festival (2000-2002), which won a Heart of Rockford Award for best special event in 2002!
I opened Minglewood Boutique on September 12, 2001 in a small storefront at 321 N. Church Street in Rockford, IL. I moved to 317 W. Jefferson St. on April 1, 2003. This 4,000 square foot space featured the boutique, a coffee bar and a stage for all-ages shows. In November of 2004, I bought an old commercial building at 1302 Broadway so I could live in the apartment above the storefront. In the fall of 2011, a great opportunity to move back downtown opened up and I moved to 510 E. State St. sharing a double storefront with a friend's boutique.
Our businesses outgrew the space, so in order for us both to expand, Minglewood moved to 333 E. State in the heart of beautiful downtown Rockford.
