The fourth and final vacant site facing the public square of Cambridge Square will soon be filled with a 12,000-square-foot building to be erected over the next year to house two expanding retailers at the Ooltewah center.
Barn Door Boutique and Sweet E’s Children’s Boutique are planning to expand into the first floor of a new two-story facility that will be built as the 16th building at Cambridge Square constructed since the retail, restaurant and office development first opened a decade ago.
Barn Door Boutique, a high-end casual women’s clothing retailer that opened a 2,000-square-foot store six years ago at Cambridge Square, is expanding to 3,000 square feet in the new building. Sweet E’s, a baby and children’s boutique, will take another 2,500 square feet of the new building.
The new structure is in the final stages of design and will be constructed by BP Construction, which has overseen the Cambridge project since its inception.
“The expansion of these two retail businesses reflects the staying power of local entrepreneurs in the greater Chattanooga market,” said Jim Cheney in a news release. Cheney oversees marketing and leasing for the development. “They have worked extremely hard to build customer loyalty and provide shopping experiences that are only found in boutique environments where the owners and the employees know their patrons. They’ve also found a good balance between brick and mortar and online sales, and the fact that they are seeking more space is thrilling for our team.”
