SHOPPING, SERVICE & WELLNESS

FRESH RETAIL IDEA

C. Oliver Coffee

+ Flower Bar

Looking for a fresh start to

your day? Check out the former

Orbit Pinball Lounge space in

downtown Maplewood, where

co-owners Olivia Medina and

Alyssa Schuler are opening a

coffeehouse–meets–floral shop.

(The moniker pulls from Medi-

na’s former café at her church

and Schuler’s father’s first

initial.) The concept includes

coffee drinks, treats from Great

Harvest Bread Company, and

fresh handmade bouquets.

PERSONALIZED SKINCARE

Lark Skin Co.

At one time, Lisa Dolan strug-

gled to find skincare products

that she felt were safe and luxu-

rious. So last year, she opened

a brick-and-mortar filled with

them, and within months the

shop had expanded to accom-

modate facial appointments. At

the Ritual Bar, customers can

pick up personalized products:

custom clay masks, facial oils,

body oils... The store also stocks

toners with witch hazel, Vitamin

C serums, and CBD products.

The bestseller? A coconut oil–

based multi-use balm, the first

product that Dolan created.

8709 Big Bend.

Local boutiques are sprouting up and expanding in new spots,

making for endless shopping strolls. This spring, St. Louis–

inspired Arch Apparel (2335 S. Hanley) opened its first brick-

and-mortar, where crowds swarmed for “Play Gloria” playoff

tees. Naked Boot & Shoe expanded beyond Webster, opening a

Chesterfield location (1590 Clarkson). MOD On Trend recently

opened its sixth location in Town and Country (1192 Town and

Country), and Leopard Boutique (7407 Manchester) rolled out

its third location in downtown Maplewood this past November.

And, vintage store May’s Place relocated to The Grove ( 4180

Manchester) from Ivanhoe Avenue.
