Located in Clocktower Village just east of Westroads Mall, Deb's-tique offers an array of jewelry, antiques, home accents, clothing, and gifts at price points its customers appreciate. The store also carries a line of Made in the U.S.A. food items. Owner Deb Schneider describes Deb's-tique as "accommodating" and "a place that gives customers a warm shopping experience." Guests are offered coffee and tea and can shop for themselves or their loved ones in a relaxing, personal atmosphere.

Schneider is no stranger to owning a business, as she and her husband also run a construction company. Her inspiration for opening her store last September came from her family life and 20+ years as a mother. "Mothers need some time to themselves—to take time and let it be about you," she says. The boutique provides a space for women to shop for unique gifts and caters to anyone from late teens to late 70s. Deb's-tique also sees many husbands and fathers shopping for the women in their lives.

"We wanted a broad clientele," Schneider says. When asked why she chose the location, she says, "It is a central point for many different people…a place anyone can come to."
