Plans are underway for the build out for the newest retail treasure opening on Tower Avenue ~ Amour Fou.
Amour Fou will be as distinctive as the name which means Crazy Love in French. The renovation of the space will make a unique combination of retail gift boutique and second story balcony dining for the creperie & tea haus. The balcony dining will overlook the main floor and create a historically french flavor to the space. Amour Fou will fully occupy the former gallery in the Wilson next to the hotel lobby.
Product focus will include home décor, body & bath care items, occasional cards & gifts, candles, lighting, wall décor, bedding & blankets, collectibles and one of a kind creations from indigenous peoples from around the world. Priority will be given to items that are sustainable, organic and vintage.
Amour Fou will be another fantastic addition to the growing number of upscale businesses relocating to the Centralia Downtown Historic District. Stay tuned for more information!
