Sebastien Lynch, 2, helps mom shop at Bowfish Kids on Friday at 1358 Boardwalk.
Three summers after opening Bangles N Bows on the Ocean City Boardwalk, Caitlin Quirk is renaming her kids' clothing store and getting ready to launch a new online marketplace.
Mayor Jay Gillian helps a couple of young customers cut the ribbon on the new Bowfish Kids on Friday as owner Caitlin Quirk (second from right) watches.
Ocean City Regional Chamber of Commerce and city officials gathered Friday afternoon to officially launch Bowfish Kids with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting.
The store specializes in apparel, gifts and accessories for boys and girls, infant through teens. It specializes in kids' bathing suits.
Quirk, 25, studied fashion design at Philadelphia University, and she said she saw a need for a children's shop on the boardwalk.
Bowfish Kids caters to both the shoppers and the shopped-for. Kids can push miniature shopping carts, and on Friday, they were getting ready to take a whack at a piñata filled with candy, hair bows and coupons.
For more information on the shop, visit it on
Facebook or
online. Look for the launch of
bowfishkids.com later this summer.
