Hunter Rose, a clothing boutique opened on Saturday, October 28, 2023. Hunter Rose is located at 946 N. 2nd Street and owned by entrepreneur, Caitlin Gardiner.

Caitlin ventured into the world of clothing boutiques because she is driven by a vision to offer a personalized shopping experience. Her goal is to blend style and individuality, creating a destination where people can discover pieces that resonate with their identity and make a statement. She chose to cater to families, providing a one-stop destination for stylish and quality apparel for both adults and children. It’s about celebrating every age group’s unique fashion journey and making shopping a delightful and affordable experience for the entire family.

Caitlin shares why she has chosen to locate her business in Chillicothe, “Having set my roots in Chillicothe nearly a decade ago, the sense of community captivated me. Choosing Chillicothe for my boutique was a heartfelt decision, driven by the desire to contribute to the community that welcomed me. It’s about building on the connections and shared spirit that make this town special.”

Her boutique stands out through its vibrant and colorful ambiance, creating a welcoming space for individuals who want to express their uniqueness. The infusion of bright pinks, oranges, and yellows not only adds a lively touch but also reflects the energy and boldness of the fashion choices available. Her business is a haven for those seeking to stand out and embrace a spectrum of vibrant styles. 

Apart from running a business, Caitlin is a parent to three amazing children, juggling the responsibilities of family life while managing her boutique. She states, “I’m dedicated to a full-time job at JT Fennell Company doing payroll. JT Fennell is also dedicated to this amazing community of ours and it’s a blessing to be able to work at another small family owned local business.”

Caitlin listens to her customers and the needs of the community. She says to stay tuned for some exciting upcoming events and an addition of clothing for older children. Thank you, Caitlin, for making your business home in Historic Downtown.
