Popular Boutique Opens New Store In Fairfield

FAIRFIELD, CT — Ciao Bella recently celebrated the opening of its newest location in Fairfield with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony. Ciao Bella, which also has a store in Madison, is located at 1610 Post Road in downtown Fairfield. The boutique is co-owned by sisters Janice Briguglio and Shelia Salkin.

Fairfield First Selectman Mike Tetreau, Economic Development Director Mark Barnhart and Fairfield Chamber of Commerce President Beverly Balaz were among the dignitaries and other guests on hand to help the sisters mark the occasion with the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Dec. 6.

Ciao Bella specializes in fashionable junior wear, must-have accessories as well as unique gift items, according to a news release. Ciao Bella accepts both the Stag Card and SHU Card at its Fairfield store location.

Salkin and Briguglio started the business after returning from a vacation to Italy 14 years ago. Their home-based business quickly outgrew its space and they opened their first storefront in 2006 in Madison.

“We are thrilled to welcome Ciao Bella to Fairfield,” Barnhart said. “Small businesses like Ciao Bella are what make Fairfield what it is, and we wish Janice and Sheila much success in this latest endeavor.”

For hours and more information about the store, visit their website or their Facebook page.
