October 5, 2021 - A ribbon cutting event was held at The Mootique on Thursday, September 30th with Kailee Metcalf. Family and friends attended along Chamber of Commerce ambassadors to welcome Kailee to the business community.
The Mootique is a shop specializing in handmade children’s clothing, blankets, dolls and jewelry.
Stephanie Elswick, Ambassador President, introduced Kailee and welcomed her to talk about her business, “We are here for the ribbon cutting of a new business, with these adorable products, called Mootique.”
Kailee introduced herself saying she had moved here about a year ago, however, her husband Luke was born and raised here and they have five children, all girls. “My business started kind of as an extension of my mom’s business; she owns a t-shirt business. She does vinyl products and she wanted to start selling children’s products too. And I kind of took that and ran with it, so now I own my own business. The Mootique is kind of like a play on words with my last name… we are the Metcalfs.” She continued, “I’m very blessed to be able to do this with my biggest supporter (husband Luke). He always says he’s my biggest fan. So, without him and my mother-in-law, Mrs. Collette back there, she made this possible too by allowing me to be here… So, I’m very grateful that you all come out today to support my business. Thank you so much.”
Her husband Luke added jokingly, “Yeah, support it all the way so that I can retire.”
Kailee invited everyone to join her Facebook page The Mootique VIP. The Mootique is located at 506 FM 2788, Center, Texas. Kailee sews and keeps in stock clothes for up to 12-year-olds. She does take custom orders as well which can be for anyone, any size. In stock she has bows, homemade blankets, jewelry, and other accessories.
Kailee plans to reveal her Thanksgiving line of clothing in October! Coming soon!
