A new boutique in Cortez called The Station has announced that its grand opening will be Saturday, Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 36 N. Maple St.<\/p>\n

The grand opening will include free pizza and dessert while supplies last, gift card giveaways and special sales. The sales include 15% off clothing $50 or more and 20% off clothing $100 or more.<\/p>\n

Owners Jeremy and Kara Linch are excited to see their project come to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything just quickly fell into place without much worry or doubt. I\u2019ve always loved fashion and even decorating. It is such a fun and interesting time in style. \u2026 I love mixing the trends of boho, farmhouse, hippie country,\u201d Kara Linch said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in such an amazing area too with all of the Western and Native influence and cultures. I have such an appreciation for the talents and craftsmanship of all our local artisans. And now we get to sell all of our favorite finds to our customers. We really want to have something for everyone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The boutique is in a 1950s building that was formerly an auto shop and gas station, which inspired the name. The boutique boasts clothing for women and men, home d\u00e9cor, knives, jewelry, shoes, candles, coffee mugs, Red Dirt Hat Co. merchandise and live-edge furniture and other woodworking pieces created in-house by Jeremy Linch.<\/p>\n

The idea for the shop came to the Linches during a trip to Texas. After visiting a Western chic boutique in the Lone Star state and seeing many others throughout their trip, the idea for The Station was born.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told Jeremy, \u2018We can do this in Cortez,\u2019\u201d Kara said. They got to work, doing much of the remodel themselves.<\/p>\n

The Station has been open since June, but it didn\u2019t come without trials.<\/p>\n

While working on a project at the boutique, Jeremy Linch severed a tendon in his finger, requiring stitches to repair the gash. Kara didn\u2019t come out of the remodeling process unscathed either. While painting the building\u2019s exterior, a wind gust knocked her off a ladder, causing an injury that required stitches above her eye and a broken wrist that needed surgery a week later to install two plates and nine screws.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were a lot of tears of frustration and tears of thankfulness,\u201d Kara said. \u201cWe just kept trusting God\u2019s plan and that there was a reason for the trials.\u201d<\/p>\n

While there were some hardships, there were many happy moments during construction. Right before The Station was completed, the Linches\u2019 first grandchild, Peyton Lane\u2019 was born, and the boutique has been graced with her presence in the shop multiple times since its doors opened.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid I ever dream of owning a boutique?\u201d Kara asked. \u201cNope, never. For years I\u2019ve wondered what it was I\u2019m supposed to be doing with my God-given talents. What do I want to be when I grow up? God put this right in my face. Why didn\u2019t I ever think of it? It\u2019s all God\u2019s timing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeremy and Kara hope The Station will be a fun and relaxing place for people to shop, whether they live in the Cortez area or are just passing through.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are over the moon with the response of this community and passersby,\u201d Kara said.<\/p>\n

The Station\u2019s normal hours of operation are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
