Cache Valley • Months after Cache Valley’s main shopping destination bit the dust, a well-known women’s clothing store has reopened in a new location.

Minnesota-based retail chain Maurices, which operated at the Cache Valley Mall before the shopping center shuttered in April, opened its new store this month at 1724 N. Main St. in North Logan.

“We love this community,” said Maurices district leader Mara Whittier. “We’ve been there since the first store opened in the ‘80s.”

Whittier pointed to the area’s small-town charm, saying it fits perfectly with the brand’s mission to “make a positive difference in the lives of women who are the hearts of their hometown.”

Maurices now has 850 stores across the U.S. and Canada, and primarily focuses on creating versatile styles for women of all ages.

Whittier says the new location emphasizes a friendly, personalized shopping experience.

“We really want our customers,” she said, “to feel like they’re shopping with a friend.”

Despite the challenging retail landscape, Whittier said Maurices saw a clear need to return to the area.

“It’s been so exciting and such a warm welcome,” she said. “The community was upset when we closed, but we’re happy to be back.”
