Edinburg, VA – You never know what she’ll do next. Entrepreneur Fran Romeo, who has worked hard for breast cancer awareness for years, has now opened a wonderful gift and wedding boutique in Edinburg, a small quaint town along Route 11 in the Shenandoah Valley. And, boy, is the place and the owner a treat!

Partnership, rather than Competition
For years, Fran’s been helping individuals – including brides and prom-goers – pick out personal gifts, and has been consulting with corporations and golf-related organizations to select innovative business gifts. She’s a pro at working with people to plan events that capture their spirit and personality, and stand apart from the crowd.

Fran is a galvanizng woman. Since opening her new boutique last month, she’s joined with other Main Street Edinburg businesses to promote their retail enterprises as a team. Viewing others as part of the greater whole, rather than separate, competing businesses is part of a national trend. It’s all about joining together for the common good, and is a positive outcome that’s coming from the effect of the lousy economy on the retail sector.

New stop for Northern Virginia visitors
Fran Romeo & Companies is located at 212 N. Main Street. They carry great gifts and accessories, and furniture and decorative items – for special occasions and special events, including weddings, proms, birthdays, and anniversaries. The shop is fast becoming a new stopping point for folks visiting the Valley from Northern Virginia and the D.C. area.

Fran provides the latest in wedding preparations, including eco-friendly gifts for the whole wedding party, as well as “green” invitations and favors. She’s a great resource for finding gorgeous settings for destination weddings in the Shenandoah Valley.

Romeo also works with school districts, and non-profit organizations, on fund raising items, ideas, and campaigns. Her boutique accepts some small-scale furniture on consignment, and also hosts book signings for local and regional authors at her shop each month. Treat yourself by swinging by The Romeo Companies during their Official Grand Opening on Saturday, December 5 from noon to 4 p.m. Or, drop by anytime. (The hours are: 11 AM – 5 PM, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Closed: Wednesday and Sunday.)
