Katie Nichols opened her first Entourage Clothing & Gifts in 2008 with a dedication and drive rarely seen in 20-somethings. The consumer economics graduate desired to provide women with a welcoming and unique shopping experience where they could find on-trend clothing and gifts without breaking the bank.
Not afraid of handwork, Katie maintained her full-time employment while tackling the Athens, Georgia flagship store buildout and launch. Her determination and inherent understanding of the marketplace has taken Entourage Clothing & Gifts from one boutique to eight locations, 127 employees, and a booming online presence in just eight years.
