Abigail’s Children’s Boutique, which has been at 93 Central St., in Wellesley Square for at least the past 20 years, is shutting down.
The store, which sells clothes and gifts for infants to pre-teens, will be be closed Monday through Wednesday this week, then re-open Thursday, April 23 at 10am for a big store-wide retirement sale.
Abigail’s got its start on Cape Cod when a mom with a child named Abigail wanted to dress her daughter in classic-style clothes and figured others wanted the same for their kids. Two young moms assumed ownership of the store in 1995 and launched an e-commerce site in 2005 that served customers around the world.
Marathoners can bid the store farewell on Monday as they run by. We wish the owners best of luck in whatever comes next.
Diane Coletti says
I was so saddened to hear that your store was closing after many, many, years of shopping for my children, and for beautiful unusual gifts. There will never be another “Abigail’s”. Your clothes were timeless and my children dressed like royalty because of your dedication to find elegant and stately close to sell in your shop. When my grandchildren were born I continued to shop at Abigail’s, however my youngest is four years old and sadly to say she has her own mind. However, I still kept my loyalty with Abigail and would buy special dresses, sweaters, bathing suits, and what ever I could talk her into. I have to say she was always voted ‘best dressed’! Good luck in your retirement you will be very missed…
God Bless you, Mrs C
