The Heat Magazine: What sparked your interest in womens clothing?
Richard Robinson of Dime1One Fabulous Lifestyles: We would often hear women complain that there were not enough options for clothes in Pine Bluff and surrounding areas. Other than Dillard’s and Holiday’s, there was no where to shop. Before our store opened up, there really wasn’t anywhere to find club dress, other than in Little Rock. Women are often are looking for clothes that complement their body type and personal style. We wanted to fill a space that was missing in this area by giving women a place to go where they could find everything they need. Were doing a pretty good job.
