Local Clothing Boutiques

Miss going out on the town with your friends? Feel like you need to shop or browse the summer collection of clothes dropping soon? Hit both marks in one move by checking out a few clothing boutiques littering the downtown streets of Green Bay or Marinette!

Doing so is safer now that three variations of the COVID-19 vaccine are currently circulating to the public, and if you are 16-years-of-age or older, you are now eligible for your first or second dose. With more and more people gaining access to the vaccine, businesses are slowly lifting restrictions to transition into the summer hours.

Local Clothing Stores in Green Bay: 

• ZuLou (920) 857-1251: A fashion-forward boutique filled with very trendy articles of clothing, this place is sure to make you want to reach for your wallet! This store is on the pricier side because of the brands and pieces offered, but their variety is worth it. Not only do they have clothing, but on the right side of their store they have a whole section dedicated to rugs, carpets, tapestries, furniture, and other fun decor. Keep up to date with their new arrivals and deals by checking out their Facebook page (linked above). Home decor / clothing marketed to women.
